WOW. I have had very tight Calf muscles, but I did not realize how tight. I was doing some exercises and My Calf muscles Screamed “Hey we need HELP” ! I remembered My Physio talking to me about a Slant Board Stretching Wedge. At the time I thought “good idea” , but soon forgot about it until My Calf’s reminded me with much Pain! I remembered the Slant Board. I am a Big Guy who has Worn out good Exercise equipment! I need something very Strong and well made. This is it! I purchased the StrongTek Slant Board X-LARGE size. The inside box says holds up to 500LBS. The Slant Board is adjustable from a 15 Degree Slant to 35 degrees Slant. This is important Feature to get adjustability on a Slant Board. Basically you stand on it for 5 minutes. Starting at 15 Degrees is challenging depending on your Physical Health. This Board also works on your Balance. I am now at 20 Degrees for 5 minutes and can feel the Stretch in My Calf’s, Hamstrings and Glutes. For Me this Slant Board has really made a BIG difference. I can feel My Muscles Stretching slowly as I stand there. Awesome. Yes I spent $100 on this Board, but what is YOUR HEALTH WORTH? This Slant Board was been Worth every penny for Me! Thank you StrongTek. I will be recommending this Slant Board to many other people. LOVE IT!
Hey, this is a terrific footrest for under my desk. Seems well made and I can determine the best angle for my feet because it’s adjustable. It has two finger holds on either side so you can lift it and place it easily. It arrived encased in bubblewrap and a well sealed cardboard box. Yes, I would recommend it to a friend
I saw this plank stretcher at a hotel gym and was happy to find it for sale on Amazon. I was tempted to buy the less expensive version but I’m glad I didn’t. The quality is magnificent, it’s sturdy, and doesn’t wobble. Very happy with this purchase.
Well designed for varying degree of slant. Sturdy and well built – but is a bit heavy so best to put it where you can leave it. Does a great job of stretching tight muscles.
Non il ne s’agit pas de quelques planches assembles mais d’un produit extrmement bien fini et superbe regarder. Il est par ailleurs d’une efficacit remarquable en cas de problme de fascia.

Great for stretching and workouts. This helps with sciatica that originates in the left leg. After working out it I put it back under my PC desk with a light fleecy cover on top for softness. I wish it were about 2 to 4 inches wider as it’s 16″ wide. Definitely worth the money given the quality. This is a buy-it-for-life product that is super easy to adjust.
Very sturdy, comes preassembled, and looks exactly like the picture.
The only warning i’ll give is that i bought this as a footrest as well as a calf-stretcher and there’s one thing to be aware of using this as a footrest. I bought this because another footrest from this brand i had ordered (for my partner) a day previously was no longer on sale. This still works great as a footrest; however, the nonslip top *will* snag on your socks. I have had my sock come off a couple times 😀 Hasn’t put holes in any of them yet, so I dont really mind. Just something to be aware of.
Ich habe eine entzndete Achillessehne mit beginnender Verkalkung. Zwei Verordnungen Physiotherapie haben bisher nichts gebracht, ebenso wenig meine bungen an der Treppe. Dieses Hilfsmittel ist sehr stabil und wertig. Man kann verschiedene Stufen einstellen. Seit ich es im Wohnzimmer aufgestellt habe und jeden Tag ein paar Minuten dehne, habe ich das Gefhl, dass es schon besser geworden ist. Mir gefllt, dass es aus Holz ist. Das hat mich sehr angesprochen. Auch mit nackten Fssen rutscht man nicht ab.
I’ve been going to physical therapy for an Archilles tendon. They use this at the rehab. I decided to buy it for home use. I was very impressed with how well built it was! Great product at a reasonable price.
But it’s the only one that I could find that is 16 inches wide instead of 12 inches wide. Otherwise, I would have bought one for half the price. I like the product so far and it seems well constructed but once again, it’s too expensive.
I love that it has the anti-slip surface. I can use it at a steeper incline without worrying about slipping off. I had that issue with another one I had bought earlier.
Very sturdy. Also has a handle on the side to easily pick up, and easy to stow away.
A friend told me about the StrongTek Professional Wooden Slant Board as a possible cure for my plantar fasciitis. The cost is a lot less than going to PT! After using it several times a day, 1-2 minutes each time, I discovered that the dreaded morning plantar fasciitis started to slowly disappear. I really appreciate the varying degrees of slant to increase the heel cord stretch. It’s really solidly and well made. When no longer needed to stretch my Achilles tendon, it might work to hold books in a slanted position in the den!
I’ve had the board for a bit now. I use it 1-2 times a day. Unit itself is sturdy does not seem wobbly. I’ve increased my flexibility and have moved the intensity up one “level”.
Def not a workout fanatic or anything just an average person with a desk job trying to feel a little better. I would repurchase this again.
I don’t write many reviews. But years of doctors and trying products, this reverses my PF. It has not cured, but i have tested its validity to rule out any other scenario that may be helping. Its this plank. If I use often, PF melts away for a bit. If I miss a few days, it returns slowly. I have spent thousands on doctors, MRI’s, and gimmicky orthotics. This did help me. Also its nicely built.
The board is simple but very functional for the purpose. The way and the material used to build the board give me lots of confidence that it will serve me for a very long time. I have had the board only over a week, but it has already provided me the best and effectively way to stretch and strength my foot that is in recovery. The board is very stable but it should be used against a wall or some strong support, in case the user is off balance. Since it is so light weighted and portable, i may not need to buy a second one for another room. Well worth the money and it is highly recommended.
Please read through to the end:
I was very hesitant on buying this item as many descriptive terms in the description for the the item but in reality when you receive the item you have to just chuckle and wonder what product they were holding when they wrote their product description because it is in no way close to describing the item you just received from them.
However, this THIS TIME this item description is not only accurate but I believe downplays the quality and attributes of this item. This Slant Step Board is fantastic in EVERY WAY! Myself, as well as my husband both have woodworking backgrounds so upon receipt so we both did a very close quality and safety check on the step. We found nothing but great materials and exceptional work and design were used to make this step. This helped to alleviate both of our minds. I will be balancing my entire weight on it as I do my daily PT exercises and do not want it to suddenly give way at any point potentially causing me an injury.
I would definitely recommend this product to others who are looking for Slanted Steps which are adjustable for stretching out their leg muscles as well as their lower back muscles. It has helped mine tremendously.
Thank you to StrongTeh for their Superb design, workmanship and quality of materials used.
Das Slant Board ist sehr vielfltig nutzbar und sehr stabil. Es macht Spa, damit zu arbeiten. Daher behalte ich es auch gerne und nutze es weiterhin.
Ich empfehle den Produzenten jedoch, eine wesentliche Neuerung bei kommenden Gerten mit einzufhren: Die Ecken des Gertes sollten abgerundet sein. Am Anfang bin ich mit nackten Fen da einige Male aus Versehen gegen die Ecken gekommen, als ich noch nicht gewohnt war, zu wissen, wo es steht.. Das kann extrem schmerzhaft sein. Mittlerweile wei ich, wo das Bord steht. 😉
Aber aus meiner Sicht sollte so ein Gert wirklich Foolproof sein. Es kann nmlich auch sein, dass man gerade zum Beispiel videoangeleitete Gymnastik macht und dann nicht unbedingt immer im Blick hat, wo das Gert sich gerade befindet (ist mir erst heute Morgen passiert, und bin wieder an eine Ecke rangekommen). Das kann man schon ein bisschen nervig sein. Daher empfehle ich wirklich: Liebe Leute verseht das Gert in Zukunft mit abgerundeten Ecken.
Fr die Schmerzen im Zeh gibt es ein Punkt Abzug
Das “StrongTek Professionelles Slant Board” (Normalausfhrung, volldeckende Rutschhemmung) lag in meiner Wahl, weil ich mir keinen Plastik-Mist kaufen wollte, zudem kaufe ich mir nur hochwertige Produkte fr mein “Gym” zu Hause.
Ziemlich teuer, das Teil. Gerechtfertigt? Naja, … Ich meine das Material.
Das Board basiert auf einer soliden, sehr sauberen, auf Tempo optimierten Tischlerarbeit.
Nicht alle Flchen (Griffmulden, weitere kleine Flchen) sind lackiert, was mir unverstndlich ist. Ist vielleicht so ein Design-Ding, weil sich unlackierte Flcken optisch gefllig absetzen. Andererseits erspart sich der Hersteller damit auch Produktionszeit- und kosten.
Es wurde mit Furnier gearbeitet, auerdem natrlich mit Sperrholz – und vielleicht auch mit Spanplatte? Die Deckplatte ist rundherum mit Furnier belegt – man muss wohl glauben, was der Hersteller schreibt, dass es sich um Sperrholz handelt.
Insgesamt wirkt das Sperrholz an manchen Stellen (da wo kein Furrnier ist und man direkt ins Holz schauen kann) fleckig und billig. Da scheint wohl auch etwas Schrott verpresst worden zu sein? Vielleicht muss das ja auch so – da bin ich zu wenig Holzexperte …
Zwei Edelstahlscharniere sind verbaut, die Senkkopfschrauben sitzen erhaben auf – hier wurde funktional gearbeitet, nicht fr die Galerie. Ist vllig okay, zeigt aber eben auch, dass es um den schnellen und einfachen Zusammenbau ging.
Die Funktion des Boards, die raue Trittflche und der Gesamteindruck sind sehr gut. Den Kauf werde ich sicherlich nicht bereuen.
Apropos Trittflche: Extrem rutschhemmend und grozgig, man kann aber auch davon ausgehen, dass die Trittflche nicht ewig so schn bleiben wird. Was passiert, wenn die Flche abgenutzt ist? Neues Board kaufen? Na, immerhin ist das Material recht Recycling-kompatibel.
37,8 cm x 31,5 cm betrgt die gesamte Tritt-Oberflche – viel Platz auch fr Riesen-Latschen.
Unter dem Board befinden sich groe runde Rutschhemmer aus Gummi (?). Macht einen guten Eindruck und funktioniert.
FAZIT
Kompromissloses Schrgbrett, solide, praxisgerecht und gut.
Generell: Es wurde viel Furnier eingesetzt. Das hat mich irritiert.
Die Deckplatte lsst sich nicht hinsichtlich der Holzart identifizieren, da sie sogar allseitig furniert ist.
Der Gesamtbau ist przise, sauber, schlicht und kostenoptimiert.
Das Board eignet sich ausgezeichnet fr das serise Gym.
Kaufempfehlung? JA.
Der Preis ist meiner Meinung nach (Ich zahlte ber 60 Euro) zu hoch. Dafr ziehe ich einen Stern ab.
Sollte das Board in 5 Jahren aber noch so gut sein wie heute, dann werde ich meine Meinung revidieren.
I have used this slant board at physical therapy for many different routines for many years. It’s not just good for calf stretching. I do other leg/hip/glute stretches using this tool. It has to be durable because of the amount of use it gets at the PT facility. Listen to your physical therapist and don’t start any new routine without a bit of training.
It’s been a month since the purchase.
This product does the job very well. The quality of the materials are nice and it is wide enough.
I loved this product that comes with a variation of exercises for strengthening your calves and other muscles related to your knees. This item is durable and provides much needed support to complete your exercises.
I found this item at my physical therapy. Recovering from knee surgery I started every session with 5-10 minutes of stretching my calves, hamstrings, and glues. I like the results so much that I bought one for my home. I use it religiously before and after exercise. The device has 5 settings. This is an outstanding warm-up and cool-down tool. Does not take up much space. I highly recommend it for any weekend warriors who have knee and back issues. This tool works also well for the pre-golf warm-up.
This is a very solid object and I have no concerns while on it. I do like the antiskid material which adds friction so your feet don’t slip and slide. It’s a good product. I use it daily!
Far superior to the ones in health clubs and others I bought previously
We’ll made product I only wish I got the extra large versio
My ankle was shattered one year ago and hardware was put in both sides of the ankle. The slant board will help me get the proper bend back in my ankle, which I have been unable to achieve. Plus it will help with my serious balance issues.
It is just the right size, has plenty of adjustment and very sturdy
Sturdy, absolutely solid, even for someone closely approaching #300. Heavy. I purchased the larger model and it is ‘uge! I have size 14 feet, and I can place my feet nearly “shoulder width” apart, which brings the outside edges of my feet/shoes just to the outer edges, while still leaving about 2+” of open space in front of or behind the toe or heel areas. For the vast majority of people, the smaller/standard size will work fine and take up MUCH less space. I purchased the nearly fully anti-slip covered version, but I would say the partly covered version would suffice for most people, unless you may be planning on using at the more extreme incline range.
I was a little hesitant to purchase but I was tired of having to go to physical therapy. This item works great even better that the one at my PT. Worth it.
Me at 210 lbs I felt totally safe. With the adjustments didn’t need to lean forward much for a good calf stretch. Well made and heavy duty. Has a carrying handle slot means someone was thinking. Easy to carry.
When Covid started, I changed my workout routine to include bicycling almost exclusively. I did very little cross training (unfortunately) and even less stretching (quite unfortunate). When I returned to jogging (moderate 5k type) and “weekend warrior” basketball, I had recurring calf-strains. The PT thinks that I need to lengthen my calf muscles via stretching. (I agree). Enter the wooden slant board. I have size 13 feet and it is plenty large and sturdy. I started with the more gentle stretching angles and progressed to more aggressive stretches. Typically, I stretch longer using the Slant board than I would using a stair or a stretch band. It’s just easier or more comfortable and convenient to stretch. It’s highly effective thus far. I’ve recently returned to jogging with no troubles (fingers crossed) and I credit the slant board and the advice of the PT.
Zum Wadendehnen mit verschiedenen Steigerungsmglichkeiten super geeignet auch fr schwerere” Menschen. Ein Punjt Abzug, da das Gert mit einer eingedrckten Ecke an der Obersrite ankam. Ist wohl schon vorher irgendwo auf die Ecke runtergefallen, tut aber der Funktion selbst keinen Abbruch
Pretty sturdy and decent quality,
I do feel it is a little pricey but it is durable
I was told that stretching my calves, to relieve the tightness, would help somewhat in dealing with my Morton’s Neuroma condition. So I was looking for a product to help me achieve this result. After reading the reviews of different slant boards, I decided to purchase the Strong Tek board.
When I received the Strog Tek board, I was immediately impressed. This slant board is strong and sturdy and very easily adjustable for different incline positions. Also, I find that the wooden construction makes it aesthetically pleasing enough so that it doesn’t have to be tucked away out of sight when not being used. This encourages more frequent use.
I use one at my PT so decided to get one for my own.
It works as intended. Now I get to stretch my calf whenever I want/need.
It’s only being a month, but so far, it seems to be sturdy and durable.
Impressed with the quality. Feels solid when standing on it.
I looked at options and picked this one,,,good call as its well made, solid, adjustable for various heights and came quickly. folds down so you could take it almost anywhere
I like it. I have to keep it out where I can see it to remember to use it.
It actually helps too stretch those muscles in the back of my legs.
I got the XL version and it is a very good product. However I don’t understand why the surface needs to be 18″ deep while it’s only 16″ wide. I think they should make it wider than it is deep.
Nothing to dislike. A well made sturdy product to help improve balance, stability and strength!
Very sturdy. Different levels of stretch are easily achieved by moving to a higher slot. No slip surface is great!
Iam 5 7″ 130 lb female. I was so excited when this arrived. I had used one in physical therapy for deep squats and this looked perfect. But alas, it was too narrow and does not allow for shoulder width squats. Returning to search out a wider slant board
Can’t say it’s worth the price. I’m sure when buying in bulk, each one of these guys costs less than $10 to make, but that being said it does everything you want it to for stretching. I have terrible ankles and tightness behind my knees, and no other stretching position has helped half as much as this guy. If you sit in a chair all day and have the money to spend, I can highly recommend this. Otherwise, buy a couple 2×4’s and some grip tape to make your own.
Other than price, the only complaint is longevity. The grip tape is very thin and there are complaints of it coming off from other reviews. Not hard to fix, and not very expensive, but for the price tag they put on this thing it’s a little annoying they didn’t use any better glue. Price and longevity are the only reasons this isn’t a 5 sta
Totally solid. Very durable. I’m very happy I purchased this. Definitely works to stretch out your calf muscles, but you have to be consistent and give it time. Give it at least five minutes every day and then after a month or two, you’ll really notice a difference. Believe me.
I use this daily yo stretch my Achilles after goog surgery. Also use during Egoscue therapy. Great for any athletic persons needing to stretch or for recovery.
I weigh 250 pounds and this board is plenty strong and sturdy. Works perfectly and will hold up for years.
With the Achilles tendonitis I stand on it in both directions. The strectch is felt from my Achilles up through my shoulders. I’m mobile without as much pain as before. It’s exceeded my expectations.
Exceeded expectations of quality. The wood feels substantial. I keep it in our living room and it looks like furniture. The incline adjustment is effortless, while also very secure in place.
A couple things to note, which I think would be true of any slant board like this:
1. You have to be either wearing shoes or barefoot in order to have enough friction. If you are only wearing socks, you will slide off.
2. I do not yet know if there is too great a variation between incline settings. The setting I am using now provides a good stretch, but the next notch seems to be a pretty big jump. Again, I think all slant boards of this design will have that issue since there needs to be a minimum distance between notches in wood.
I am going to get a (slightly less than)-half-round foam in addition to this slant board. Those work well with socks, since your heel is on the floor. Also, they’re light and easy to move. The downside being that they are not like a piece of furniture, and for that reason, I am going to keep this one. The half-round that I tried from amazon was too high, and it was also too slippery and did not stay in place. But I have used ones before that work very well. If I can find it again, I will link it here.
I purchased this product out of need and use it almost daily. When I started physical therapy they had be using one. It made my calves feel really good so I decided to buy one for myself. I choose this one due to other reviews and so far am very satisfied with the quality of the board and the results I am getting. I bought the full coverage board and have not had any issues with it to date. I noticed that the one they had a physical therapy could only handle 250 pounds where this one handles quite a bit more. I am reviewing this product because I have no regrets on buying from this manufacturer.
I received physical therapy for a knee replacement and along the way during my sessions, the PT introduced the slant board to me. When performed correctly, and technique is everything, the slant board helps in getting a gentle calf stretch. I like having it.
Can’t comment on how long it will last, however the angles are good, grip and support seem like they will hold up. Not unhappy with the purchase and would recommend.
I received yesterday and used right away! What an amazing stretch! I sprained my ankle a few years ago and suffer with stiffness. I used this yesterday and this morning and feel the difference already. I was able to walk without the pain/tightness. I’ve seen this at physical therapist offices and decided to get for myself. I’m happy I purchased
Very impressed by the quality of this slant board. It is very sturdy and has excellent traction while standing on it barefoot out in shoes. This is the same quality as the one at my physical therapist’s office.
At 5’6 & 220lb I chose the large size, glad I did as it a good fit.
This slant board is awesome! I purchased one of those metal boards that was supposed to be non-slip but it was not. I returned that one and spent a little more on this one and I am happy I did. This board is very sturdy and really is non-slip! Very happy with my purchase.
We absolutely love this board. My kids and husband use this on a daily basis along with myself. This has helped correct my sons tip toeing by loosing up his hamstrings. I love that you can also adjust the height of your stretch. The only downfall is the grips on the bottom cane off super easy but I just used super glue to stick them back on. Other than that, I recommend this for anyone dealing with tight hamstrings, calves etc.
This has been a satisfying purchase, and worth every dime. I guess I’ve grown accustomed to paying too much for items that are poorly built of sub-standard quality materials, which it seems is every manufactured item on the market today. This purchase made me very happy. It’s well-built, sturdy, nicely finished, and extremely functional. I bought this to use for weighted squats, and this is one solid piece of equipment. Would definitely purchase again, but I know I won’t need to. I would absolutely recommend this item with no reservations. The only thing I that would be an improvement is some felt strips or other cushioning material along the wood parts that come into contact with eachother. When you move this item, those wood parts sometimes smack together making a really loud clapping noise. I added felt strips, and no more noise. I suppose in a gym the noise wouldn’t be so remarkable, but in our home it seemed quite loud.
I had to wait until the ships were unloaded, literally, I had contacted the seller asking when the extra large would be available again but it was well worth the wait. The board is very sturdy and well-made. I am appreciative of the side carry holes and have recommended this board to multiple friends.
This sturdy slant board is identical to the one used at the physical therapist office I go to. I’m a runner recovering from tarsal tunnel and plantar fascia release surgery on my left foot and this board has been extremely helpful in stretching out my foot and calf muscles. My physical therapist said it will help get rid of the foot drop problem (inability to lift the front part of my foot) that occurred after the surgery. I’ve been using it twice per day for 6 weeks and my foot drop is almost gone now and I can walk normally again! I like how this product has adjustable heights and can be stored underneath my bed. It arrived well packaged and in excellent condition.
I plan on continuing to use this to help prevent future foot and ankle problems.
This is a solid piece of equipment I stretch with nearly every day. It is sturdy, solid, and will take untold years of use. It supports my weight easily, and I’m 260 pounds. I’ve had zero problems with the non-slip pads, and I’ve used it more-or-less daily for 8 months. For me, it is an excellent piece of equipment in all respects.
My sole complaint is that it is so solid I have stubbed my toe on it more than once. Don’t get sloppy around it if you’re barefoot.
Everything so far check out well for this slant board. I weigh about 190 or so and it held me well. As far as the non slip pading, so far so good. I’ve recently bought this a few weeks ago so that’s why I can’t truthfully attest to the overall durability of this product. But I have a lot of faith in it.
I am finding this slant board to be a great item in my home workout room. Work into the height gradually since it really works the legs. It seems to be helping alleviate my planter fasciitis. I am very happy with this slant board. Use it daily.
So far, this slant board has been great! My frame consist of a 5’10/195lbs build. I’ve been using this slant board to perform body squats and kettlebell front squats as well. No issues with balance or stability. My only slight complain is that even though I grabbed the larger version of it, somehow it still feels a bit narrow. My solution in the near future, would be to add another one to the mix. Other than that, I’m definitely happy with the purchase. Leg day is now truly leg day!
This is a similar slant board to what I used at Physical Therapy. I recommend the model with the entire slant board covered with the black anti slip material, not the one with the horizontal strips.
This is a very well built sturdy slant board. I weigh over 250 lbs and it has no problem supporting my weight. My calves and Achilles get great stretches which help give me relief from my my plantar fasciitis. I would recommend this to anyone.
RECOMENDED BY MY ACUPUNCTURIST TO GENTLY STRETCH MY CALF MUSCLES, THIS WOODEN ONE IS BETTER THAN A PLASTIC ONE WITH BUBBLES
This item is well built. I bought the larger size with the completely covered top and am glad I did as I have large feet and am not a thin person. I am still only using the minimum slant. It takes a few times using this to get the legs used to stretching but after using it a few weeks my calves are feeling good with the stretching they have been getting. I notice an improvement simply in the way I am walking now. The sand paper like covering where I place my feet shows no sign at all of the problems that were mentioned in some reviews that I read (it is well glued and is not slipping or moving at all). I like this slant board because I can pull it out while watching T.V. and get a nice stretch while standing upright without needing to get down on the floor. This thing is excellent.
I wear size 13 shoes and weigh 350+ and this thing is solid as a rock and comfortable to use. I use it almost every day to stretch my calves. Since starting to do that, my foot and ankle tendon issues have pretty much disappeared. Multiple doctors couldn’t figure out what was going on. It turned out that my feet were compensating in damaging ways for the lack of flexibility in my calf muscles and the tendons on the front and back of my calf. I highly recommend this piece of equipment.
This Slant Board is excellent quality and still portable enough for me to take to my gym in a plastic bag as they don’t have one. Very happy with this purchase.
Amazon delivers on time every time!
This slant board is of much better quality than I expected! At 6’3 and 220 lbs and being 67 years old I take my workout equipment seriously!
This is one of those serious products!
The stability that I feel using this allows me to push myself!
The stability- 5 stars
Sturdiness- 5 stars
Durability- 5 stars
Great job guyz
You’d be shocked at what can be done with a slant board, especially one that allows you to adjust angles. My calves are finally growing, I’m gaining flexibility and I’m able to stimulate my quads on off leg days. This has become my favorite and most used piece of equipment. The only gripe I have is that whoever screwed parts in wasn’t paying too much attention as the screws weren’t put in flush. That said, not a problem at this stage.
I bought this because I have bad plantar fasciitis and have developed Achilles tendonitis. This has 5 levels, but it already comes at an incline so I haven’t tried them. I didn’t realize just how tight my calves are and how immobile my ankles really are until I stepped on this.
I love the stretch I get and I’m hoping that overtime it’ll get easier. I have never been able to stretch my calves because I would get sharp pain. With this I can feel the stretch, but it’s not sharp or excruciating.
As a former collegiate thrower just getting into running, I often found myself having tight calves and tight achilles. This board helps with both of those tremendously. Just a few exercises on this board (that are displayed on a sheet that comes in the product packaging) a day is keeping my legs feel loose and like new. No tightness or pain.
The boards construction is very sturdy too. I’m a rather large individual (280 lbs), so I am often concerned with products like these that may not hold me up compared to the models in the picture. But this has been holding up great! Love having this for my daily stretches.
I have Achilles Heel issues & I’m stiff there. I used something like this at a Physical Therapy office. It was a little painful the first time I used it, but I pressed through it & stayed on it as long as I could tolerate it. 2-3 days later I had less Achilles Heel pain & stiffness. I can tell that using this consistently is going to make a big change in my mobility. I’m a Line Dancer & the Achilles Heel pain was affecting my dancing. I can now dance longer because I got one of these & I use it daily. I’m also recovering from knee replacement surgery & this is helping me big time! I love it! Smart purchase for me.
Great way to continue physical therapy at home and keep your plantar tendons and achilles from getting too tight. The one thing I love about this, is the size. It’s bigger then the one I have used at PT, and the fact that both feet fit comfortably on it at the same time is great. With ongoing foot problems, the price of this was less then two of my copays… so it was well worth it, to own it.
I use the adjustable slant board for weighted calf raises. I’m 185 lbs. and hold 50 lbs. of dumbbell weight and this works fine. Good angles and great stretch in the calf muscles.
I ordered the one with with “full coverage” anti-slip adhesive placed where my feet go. This tape has stayed in place perfectly fine.
Because of other reviews that mentioned problems in these areas, I checked before using that all the screws were fully in place and secure across the inside hinges (which they were) and that the swinging board which locks the height adjustment was installed in the correct direction (which it was) to securely lock the incline board in place.
Received this item in double-boxed packaging (Thanks to Amazon) . Also tried on the product and it’s sturdy enough for my subsequent exercise regimen. Hope I can really benefit from it.
My calves and lower calves / achilles have become increasingly tight with age. I’ve been stretching them using traditional stretches, but I desired a more serious stretch. I first purchased the cheap blue plastic calf stretcher on Amazon, but it performed worse than the stretches I was already doing without a device, so I returned it.
THIS THING is changing my life… it stretches my calves and achilles so seriously that at first I was overstretching them and they started to feel tweaked. That sounds bad, but actually it’s a wonderful thing. Now that I’ve set it up two rungs lower and am being careful, I’m getting calf and achilles stretches that I’ve never gotten before, despite significant research. 30-60 seconds on each leg in the morning and evening, and my lower legs are so loose that they feel like new.
I was hesitant because of the price of this product, but this is one of those exceptional products that can truly change your life, if you have tight calves or achilles. I haven’t experimented much, but I suspect this thing can also help stretch hamstrings.
Great board but kind of annoying to have payed this much and it have such cheap grip tape that constantly keeps peeling off. Will honestly have to go and buy new tape so it doesn’t peel off every other day like it currently does.
I do a lot of running and was looking for something simple to use inside for calf, hamstring, and foot stretching. Before buying this I actually had purchase something similar from Amazon made out of a foam material, however was skeptical about its durability and therefore continued searching on Amazon and found this. Thankfully the foam ones were returnable for a complete refund.
From the moment I opened the box I’ve been really impressed with the quality of this slant board. Not only does it feel very sturdy, it is also light enough to be easily moved and is easy to move thanks to the holes on each end to place your hands to carry it. Another nice feature over the foam slants that I had is that the angle is adjust to give you just enough of a stretch for what you’re needing. While is use it does not slide on the floor or flex and made noises.
If you’re looking for a high-quality slant board look no further.
As usual, I shopped for hours online before weighing the pros and cons and customer reviews. I settled on this one and I’m very happy that I did. It is made extremely well. The fact that it holds 450 lbs is one indicator that it is so durable. I don’t intend to ever weigh that much, but I do want this to last forever, so I think I made a solid purchase. I only received it last week, but already it is helping the tension in my calves and Achilles tendon. My podiatrist said my feet pronation is due to the tightness of my Achilles. I’ve had this all my life, so if this cures my issue, I will be thoroughly amazed and impressed. The other issue I am trying to aid is the sciatic nerve pain that runs from my lower back down to my heel. The stretching of those muscles and tendons seem to relieve some of that nerve pain. Once I’ve used the incline board for several months I’ll give an update, but for now, I am very pleased with the quality of the product, the timeliness of the shipment, and it’s simple design and ease of use. It has four levels of incline, so I can gradually work up to the most extreme stretch. With all that I know so far about this product, I would definitely buy it again.
