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. Was a nice inclusion in the bundle which I didn't think I would have use for. Thanks!!
I'm on my feet teaching all day. These have been amazing - I look forward to putting them on when I get home and relaxing. The effect has been awesome - reduced pain during the day.
Got this to help with my son's shinsplints and my forearm pain. Within 2-weeks, the pain for both has subsided. Love this tool!
Absolutely the best tool for my body that I’ve ever bought. After two weeks of daily use, the pain in my foot arch is totally gone!
Works great and like to hse it before a run as well. Really helps with muscle tension.
This is the only thing I’ve found that can loosen my Achilles and lower ankle . Saves money on going to the Chiropractor or pt. Can also control the amount of pressure applied when you do it vs someone else can not recommend enough
I have been having issues with plantar fasciitis and I have been seeing videos on YouTube about how scraping can help by increasing blood flow as well as release tension. Along with stretching this has been a great help. I’m now back to running and playing tennis without pain
I was skeptical at first when I purchased this device, but after a using it for a few days, I found it to really work. My left hip feels much better now. I even decided to try it out on my lower back and it worked great there as well!
The Axis board is great! You made, and the instructional booklet is so comprehensive. I am grateful to have it both for this injury, recovery, and on hand for the future. My only feedback for the instructional booklet would be to have the set ups, simply drawn on all the pages so you don’t have to keep flipping between front and back of the book.
The tool Is very substantial and works great on my feet, Achilles, calves, quads, you name it. The books is really helpful to understand how to use it properly. My plantar fasciitis is under control in less than a week.
Good quality and shape. I especially like the controlled pressure without hurting my fingers and just using the device
I have an entry that made a dent in my leg and I’ve been using that on that and it has helped as well
Neck issues are the primary reason I got it and it seems to help as well
Utilized Sidekick Echo to deal with strained hamstring. Directions were very clear in book provided. Directions also can be obtained through video. Only issue was not clear is how much gel is needed before scrapping and how long bottle provided will last.
I have been dealing with plantar fasciitis for almost a year now and I have been physical therapy. I stretched. I did everything to help with it and nothing seem to give me relief. I have decided to try this scraper and literally after the first use it was much better and I’m still using it regularly, especially after I exercise whenI have decided to try the scraper and literally after first use. It was much better and I’m still using it regularly, especially after I exercise when I have a flareup. Gives me instant relief, and I also tore my calf muscle and I use it for my leg as well on that injured leg. It’s been a really helpful tool.
I run 50+ mile per week and ihave tried many things to get rid of topside foot pain. Some have helped a bit like the Sidekick scrapper, but it was always a temporary fix. The toe spreader has given me lasting relief. I don't even have to use the scrapper anymore.u
I suffer from chronic IT Band Syndrome and the Bow has saved me. It loosens my tight hamstrings and breaks up the tightness in top of my knee to keep me running. A must-have for ITBS!
OMG! I LOVE MY SIDEKICK AXISBOARD. I fractured my ankle a few months ago and love doing my PT on the board. I am a Physical Therapist and am always looking for new ways to help my patients achieve their goals. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Never considered this but it was included with echo scraper an honestly it’s been great to stretch out my foot!
I love my sidekick for my tight hipflexors. I use the sidekick all over, whatever is tight. It's one of my favorite running tools;)
The sidekick helped my ankle/ arch issue in days. I believe I have peronial tendinitis as well as metatarsialgia. Great to take with me when travelling.
Extremely comfortable. Easily adjustable for my toes - I have no control over my 4 small toes, and this is helping me regain sensitivity and mobility in them. Slow but steady.
Surprisingly great. Really isolates my Achilles which is exactly what I needed to help strengthen some of the muscles that get obliterated when I run.
