One platform. Endless ways to build strength and mobility.

10 minutes a day to stretch & strengthen? Yes, please.

Heel Hero positions your foot in controlled dorsiflexion - toes elevated, heel dropped - so every rep targets the tissue where it's weakest and tightest.

The deepest stretch you've ever felt.

The toe-wedge platform puts your plantar fascia and Achilles under real tension - not just a passive calf stretch.

Start easy. Progress with time.

Seven platform angles and 6 toe wedge settings (20°–45°) so you can dial in exactly where you are in your recovery.

Flip it. Train your knees.

Turn it around and it becomes a decline surface for patellar tendon rehab, deep squats, and split squats.

How to use

Injury-Focused Program

Start your recovery with a clear, step-by-step plan:

Find your injury in the Injuries section.
Follow the recommended drills.
Progress through each stage gradually and safely.

General Strength & Stability

Build a stronger, more stable base — injured or not:

Choose exercises from the Strength section.
Focus on movements that feel weak or challenging.
Keep progressing with new variations as you get more comfortable.

What does the Heel Hero actually do?

Heel Hero puts your foot in a controlled toes-up position so you can safely load the plantar fascia, Achilles, and ankle through a deeper range. Instead of passive stretching, it lets you build strength in the exact position your tissue needs to heal. It also doubles as a decline platform for knee exercises.
Is the Heel Hero safe to use?

Yes. Heel Hero is designed for controlled, slow movements and safe home rehab. The wide base and non-slip surface keep your foot stable during training. It supports up to 400 lbs. As with any rehab tool, start gradually and work within a pain-free or tolerable range. If recovering from surgery or a major injury, follow your clinician's guidance.
What shoe sizes does the Heel Hero work for?

Heel Hero fits foot sizes women's 5 to men's 13 and works barefoot, in socks, or athletic shoes. The platform supports small and large feet comfortably because the movement happens at the ankle, not the edges of the device.
Can I use it on hard floors or carpet?

Yes. Heel Hero is stable on hardwood, tile, gym flooring, and carpet. The base grips the surface to reduce slipping during slow, controlled exercises.
What makes this different from slant boards?

A slant board tilts the entire foot as one piece. Heel Hero separates the toes and heel, which creates real plantar fascia tension and deeper Achilles loading. This allows strength-based rehab instead of simple stretching.
Can this help with my injury?

Heel Hero supports rehab for common foot, Achilles, ankle, and knee problems such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, stiff ankles, and anterior knee pain. It does not replace medical care, but it gives you a way to safely strengthen the tissues involved. If pain is severe or worsening, consult a healthcare professional.
How often should I use it?

Most people benefit from short daily sessions or 3 to 5 sessions per week. Consistency matters more than intensity. Start with low volume and increase gradually as your tolerance improves.
How long until I see results?

Many people notice reduced stiffness and better movement within a few weeks. Long-term tissue change takes time, usually 4 to 8 weeks of consistent training. Progress depends on injury history, severity, and how regularly you use it.
