When I first purchased the echo scraper, it was very expensive. I'm on a fixed budget., and the government has just taken $200 off of my pension. Without replacement, I felt- with a $140 Canadian exchange total bill, -cheated. Period , just felt cheated even though the Echo was heavy surprisingly heavy. I thought why is this so much cost?
I decided I would return it because I tried pressing it on my arm. And my husband tried it and it hurt. Well, I called in to return it. And was very disillusioned by the whole scraper thing after I received my information to return the product.
* It took a couple of days to get ahold of somebody which irritated me and I thought they were dogging me!
So when we finally connected, I was angry , they were fine. Everything was fine and I got my information, and I decided I was going to just check it out One more time, so I looked up a bunch of videos on It on YouTube to get a little background. And how to use it. I took some of the serum that they graciously included, I didn't know it came with that.I didn't look very carefully when I was purchasing my mistake, however, was pleasantly surprised.
I find the viscosity of the oil for your muscle's lacking and needing a more spreadable carrier oil, i'm thinking about adding some coconut oil to it.
I tried the scraper on different parts of my body. And I did my stomach, my upper shoulders and onto my upper back as far as i could reach, my breasts, my arms, my hands and my face, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I am NOT returning it nope!
at the end. My hands were a little sore, and I'm rubbing the echo scraper, with the edge side against my palms and my fingers, and I kept that pressure on as I was twisting it and flipping it in my hand and I can't tell you the amazing feeling of a hand massage that the Echo Muscle Scraper did to my hands was beyond my thoughts, i am still very shocked , i held it steady as i glided it through my hands and the relief over the muscles was intricateand pricise wierd because I was only rolling it in my hands.
. I would pay that money for that massage and I'm glad that I did because now I have it. And it's mine and I don't have to return it. And I don't have to pay more for private and extensive sessions of muscle repair work. And I can keep using it for ever. It's mine and I I'm really glad that I took the time to use it slowly.
SLOWLY, that's the key. If you try and push it over your muscle fast and firmly, you will get all those lumps bumps and nodules and they WILL hurt. They will hurt a lot. And you will think this is stupid. This is a waste of money and I don't know why anyone would charge a 100 plus dollars for a piece of metal. Well, there is a difference between using a metal scraper. That is designed specifically for arking and pushing the muscle without scraping the skin. Compared to, random piece of iron or the back of a knife, a butter knife or a rolling pin or a thick branch. It's not the same, and when you do it. You will know yourself. It is not the same.
The end game is truly different!
And my muscles, when I did it on my face, my face feels like I've received a massage which pulled back all the saggy skin. I'm not sure how to explain it, because I don't go to those women's places where they get their nails or their hair or their face done. I just am not a girly, I'm a tomboy, and I don't do that kind of thing.
So when I looked at my face after in the mirror the jowls that were forming on the sides of my chin, we're half now, I've been eating a lot of sweets and I 'm really grateful that that happened. Because I will not pay for someone else to touch my face to make it better. Nope, sorry,.
I have things wrong with the rest of my body. I have a foot issue, and the only reason why I decided to buy something from this company which wasn't going to be the muscle scraper, it was the foot axis board and I haven't even used that yet. I'm so enthralled with this muscle scraper.
I'M NOT GOING TO RETURN IT. I've changed my mind so the title of this review is because of that and so I named it that.
I was not a nice person. When I talked to them on the phone I told them that that was a really disgusting price, and I was very upset about it. And they were kind and gentle and patient. And send me my information without any questions or pushing back
And I like that the only thing that I would be upset about is the fact that they didn't answer their phone for 2 days. And would go to an answering machine but then I never got called back even after I left a message. I'm not sure what the hiccup was there. But I'm glad that they did finally get ahold of me after I found the little texting help thing. I am because of that little hiccup. Ninety eight percent satisfied and I would actually add the one per cent back.And be ninety nine per cent satisfied because they answered my text. Enabling me a chance to return the product. I appreciate this product
Sincerely Mrs Tammy Culp Me...
Been using for a little over a week and it's doing exactly what I'd hoped it would do.
I purchased this to help strengthen my ankles, and I really appreciate the extensive guides that followed along, suggesting exercises depending on the injury . The equipment is super versatile, so I would be lost without the booklet that they sent with it. Recommended!
Dealing with cuboid syndrome and subsequent peroneal tendinitis. Have been gaining mobility and pain has been subsiding using the app.
I’ve been using the AxisBoard mainly for ankle rehab (peroneal tendonitis), and it’s been a solid addition to my routine. It’s simple but effective, and you can feel the small stabilizing muscles working right away. There is a bit of a learning curve figuring out the different configurations, but once you get the hang of it, it’s really useful for both rehab and general strength. Overall, I’m glad I got it.
I’ve been running ultra marathons for a decade and kept saying I need to do more agility and ankle strength training. This has already started to work after two weeks of progressive exercises.
I followed the suggested progressions and my second week was a HUGE improvement in my ankle stability doing the exercises and I put an extra 25km in running. Beast mode unlocked.
2 months out from race day and I’m feeling ready for any terrain or weather condition.
I needed something to help me work through some plantar fasciitis and achilles issues that allows for full customizability to work strength + stability in different planes of motion...this tool is it!
I have had several different balance tools like this. What I like about the axis board pro is that it can replace them all since there are so many different configurations.
Good addition to the knee rehab toolbox and a great piece of equipment for general strengthening and plyo work. Robust, easy to assemble, and fairly compact. Saw reviews mention lack of stability but the base is sturdy and stays in place (I am 6'3" over 200 pounds). Only improvement I would make is a tighter fit on uprights as one is a decent interference fit and the other is a bit loose.
Had seen adds popping up on my Instagram after getting into running. Decided to try it out and it has helped me to strengthen my feet/lower leg muscles and help alleviate issues with overpronation. Definitely recommend!
Added this to my daily routine, it has been so helpful fixing/strengthening so many issues with my ankle and calf!
So far so good!
Been noticing that there' is definitely a lot more ankle stability. My ankles are sore which means also to take it easy and that the muscles are being activated.
I ordered the Echo muscle scraper because of shin splints/tibilais posterior injury. To be honest, I didn't expect it to work, but since I had used other methods without success, I decided to give the Echo a try. It took only 3 days (yes, 3 days) for the pain to go away. There was just a bit of discomfort left that also disappeared on the 4th day. Needless to say, I was running again on the 5th day. A week after that, I ran a 5k race and won my age group. Still no traces of the injury. I'm positively dumbfounded.
The Ladderpod is easy to assemble and really easy to use. I love the book that came with it, detailing the different exercises you can do with it. I didn't realize there were so many movements you can achieve. It is quite heavy and very sturdy, and I don't feel at all like it will tip over with my weight. I'm really satisfied and glad I didn't opt for a Plyobox instead. There are so many more heights available than just the 3 with the box.
I've been using the Axis Board Pro recovering from a foot fracture and it's been so helpful! I love book and app and that there are so many configurations aimed to target so many foot issues!
I've seen a real improvement in my strength and mobility.
My husband is also using for tightness after long runs.
Worth it ten times over!! Never knew I needed something so bad until I used it a few times. Just, wow…. Wow! It actually works fantastically!
Works like a charm on my calves; they’re noticeably less sore and I even sleep way better too! 10/10, 5-Stars, would and do recommend for ANY sore muscles and tendons. 💜
I bought the axisboard pro and also received the toes spreader!
I like them both, i use the toes spreaders during my finisher or when i squat mostly, its really confortable and I’m sure it helps reinforce the intrinsic muscle of my feet.
The axisboard help me a lot to recover from a shin splint, I had trouble regaining strengh in my medial calf and my tibialis posterior. It really help moving without compensation, which are hard to avoid when there is pain!
Now I can say I have recover almost completely. It sure helps a lot, I will now work on my other weakness, dorsiflexion!
I've been having some lingering achilles issues and after a week of following the app, I seem to be on the mend.
I have been dealing with chronic ankle and calf weakness and instability. I have seen podiatrists, spent hundreds on insoles, exhaustively worked them out via strength training / yoga / pilates but NOTHING has had the effect that the Sidekick has!
Love the guide booklet that is included - super insightful and helpful!
They quickly helped correct an issue with my order.
This is a great tool to use at home for PT and strength training. I love that you can customize it in different configerations according to your injury and strength goals. It's solidly built and feels like it will last a long time.
This thing is an absolute tank of a unit- stable as a rock even with my 300 lb frame. I purchased this as a better solution for my home gym than using plyo boxes and holding onto a power rack upright close by.
The platform is large, stable, and way more adjustable than using boxes/steps.The handles work great to provide extra stability as my balance isn't the greatest.
Throw in the spiral bound exercise book and the band that was included and I'm a happy customer.
I was bit skeptical at the beginning. I got my sidekick a week ago and I see big improvement in my mobility. My ankle is getting stronger it helped in just one week. Do not hesitate get on board with sidekick board it will improve faster your foot 🦶 recovery. I wish I got this board sooner. I love app and all exercises. Many thanks 🙏 Slav
