Great for ankle strength

Bought to help with my ankles being tight. Axisboard has really helped to loosen up my ankle and strengthen it.

Neat little board!!

I love this thing--the included booklet is incredibly helpful, and I often find myself single-leg balancing while watching TV or even just when I'm bored. Can definitely feel it working and I'm feeling parts of my feet/ankles that I've never been able to hit before.

Love it!

I started using this is help with some injuries in the feet and ankle areas. I enjoy how easy it is to target specific tendons (thanks to the handy guide that is provided) and muscles for more efficient training. Only a few minutes a day helped keep injury away as it was coming on.

Great tool at an affordable price

I had send the board on social media and was somewhat sceptical about it but willing to try new things to help rehab and prehab. I got the board and the quality of the board, the great manual and being able to target different muscles is a game changer :)

Excellent Tool for Ankle Rehabilitation and Mobility

I’ve been using the Axis board for ankle pain, and I’m really impressed with it. The versatility of the exercises and the deep stretching it provides for the ankle and calf areas have made a noticeable difference. It’s well-built, easy to use, and effective for both rehab and flexibility work. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with ankle stiffness or looking to improve mobility.

Home PT + ongoing trainer

Fantastic device ! I’ve hurt my ankle twice this n snowboarding accidents and was in PT for latest injury when I discovered Sidekick .
It’s clever design & portability has enhanced my post PT strengthening and mobility work on my feet and ankles ! My PT was very impressed with your device and has started recommending it to its patients.

Great product

A great product to help strengthen my foot/ankles. As a plus, it is very portable so easy to pack and move around.

This now comes with the 120 page guide (I purchased it before this guide was released. Would be nice to be able to get this in hard copy.)

Easy safe but effective training tool

Needed a tool to help with single leg balance and strengthening. Axis board has been super helpful and it'd very easy to use. As an athlete I have a busy training schedule so having something like the axis board has been a game changer. Not super big and can be used practically anywhere.

Gamechanger

I rolled my ankle about 2 years ago, didn’t know that I had broken something. Everything healed eventually on its own but was never the same level of strong. The axis board has helped with rehabbing my ankle and foot to rebuild the strength from before the injury.

Worth every penny

I have had trouble with my foot and ankle after an injury four years ago, and I’ve seen doctor after doctor. This is the first time I feel like I’m making progress after using Side Kick for a few weeks. Instead of relieving pain only, I am finally making my feet stronger. The book with the exercises for different issues is worth the cost alone.

Worth the money

I hesitated for a bit on buying this because I wondered if I really needed another gadget to fix my foot/ankle/leg issue. I'm so glad I bought it. It's quick and simple and I love that a physical book describing the exercises is included. I can spend just minutes a day and notice a difference. Really happy with it.

Targeted foot and ankle strengthening!

As a PT the axis board is an essential tool to add to your kit. I’ve had great success helping my patients recover from peroneal tendinitis, plantar fasciitis and posterior tibialis tendinopathy. The axis board provides targeted strengthening with great progressions.

AxisBoard

This is a great addition to strength training to really target ankle and foot stability. It’s especially beneficial for trail runners!

Unique idea

I am still playing with it. But its a great idea to stretch the foot and find weaknesses. I wish there were more instructions for ideas on how and when to use that came with it.

Definitely Helpful

I've been having ankle pain for a year now, and it comes and goes. Using the AxisBoard has definitely helped improve it, and on days it is bothering me, using the AxisBoard makes it feel stronger.

Versatile

Love it! So nice to have so many configurations to target all aspects of the foot and ankle. Really helps with ankle strengthening and mobility.

Achilles Stretching

My Achilles is sore and stiff at times after running in road races. Working the exercises in for a few minutes a day with the Sidekick board after daily training in just a week, I can tell an improvement in my Achilles' strength and pain.

I like the light stretching and the strength/blance training it provides

I like the light stretching and the strength/blance training it provides. I've only had it a couple weeks and it has already helped with my Plantar Faciitis.

Immediate Results

I've noticed immediate results from the use of this scraper - I love that this item came with the detailed "how to" book for all injury or ailment types as well as with a pump gel. Would recommend!

The Echo is an exceptional tool and a workhorse!!

The Echo is an exceptional tool. I am a massage therapy student, and I already have a background and education in Kinesiology.
So I am no stranger to different modalities…..i wouldn’t give my approval of this tool if it didn’t exceed many other higher priced and supposed “high grade” IATSM/scraping tools.

The Echo is a a gamechanger for scraping soft tissues. The effects that it has on the fascia can be seen on just one scraping session…the beveled edges on the Echo are actually beveled…some tools I have come across are not truly beveled, and don’t give you the appropriate scraping edge to get the pressure and depth needed to get blood flow.
With that being said, tools with a more rounded edge, do have their use in scraping therapy, but a beveled edge, a tried beveled edge, gives one the alternative to have that differentiation in pressure and depth.
But again, there are less quality tools that say that they have a true beveled edge, and it isn’t even close.

I love my Echo!! It’s a star in my tool wheelhouse, and is a workhorse! Don’t think about it…just get it, for professional and personal use.

I’ve given/donated it to Hackensack Physical Therapy knowing that many others would benefit from it

I’ve given/donated it to Hackensack Physical Therapy knowing that many others would benefit from it. My pt therapist, Robert Cozzarelli has been utilizing it with many of his patients. Ranging from athletes to seniors with Plantar Fasciatis. Personally we’ve been utilizing it for my therapy with beneficial results.

Really enjoying the axis board as I strength my feet and ankle muscles

Really enjoying the axis board as I strength my feet and ankle muscles. Helping me with my weak ankles from past bball injuries

Have been dealing with posterior tibial tendinitis for months during Chicago Marathon training

Have been dealing with posterior tibial tendinitis for months during Chicago Marathon training. Bought this to help alleviate the pain. Within a few days, I already noticed a difference. Highly recommend to anyone with chronic tendinitis!

Improved function!

So far, my ankle has not locked up since I started investigating this balance board. Our feet really are involved in so many pain or disfunction issues farther above! I am still working through the offered exercises, yet am thrilled I purchased the Sidekick Axis board. I was hoping it would not be wasted money, and so far it was NOT wasted!

Better quality than the spreaders my mom used to purchase

Better quality than the spreaders my mom used to purchase. Was a nice inclusion in the bundle which I didn't think I would have use for. Thanks!!
