1. Chigadzirwa Pamusoroview
The SIDEKICK AxisBoard is a specialized single-leg balance board designed to enhance foot and ankle strength and stability. Its low-profile design targets intrinsic foot muscles and key stabilizers around the ankle, preventing overcompensation from the hips and knees. It is an effective tool for addressing foot ailments and enhancing mobility, accelerating rehabilitation with just minutes of daily use.
This board is particularly beneficial for injury rehabilitation and prevention, aiding in recovery from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, peroneal tendinitis, anterior tibialis, posterior tibialis, and Achilles tendinopathy.

2. Setup uye Configuration
The AxisBoard consists of two main components and several interchangeable support bars. The foot is divided into three sections: forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot. The AxisBoard is designed to specifically target and strengthen these areas, improving stability and assisting in injury recovery.
The board features durable plywood construction and rubber non-slip pads to ensure safety and stability during use. It supports up to 300 lbs.

Configuring the AxisBoard:
The AxisBoard offers over 80 configurations and progressions to continually evolve and improve your training. These configurations are achieved by attaching the support bars to different sections of the board using the integrated hook-and-loop fasteners.
- Danho 1: Choose a configuration that feels appropriate for your current skill level or injury. If you are unsure, begin with Configuration 1 as detailed in the included 120-page training guide.
- Danho 2: Attach the support bars to the designated areas on the underside of the AxisBoard components. Ensure they are securely fastened to prevent movement during use.
- Danho 3: Test various configurations to identify the most challenging ones for your specific needs. Focus your time on configurations that target weaker areas of your foot and ankle.

3. Operating Instructions
The AxisBoard is designed for efficient daily use, requiring only 3 minutes a day to treat and prevent injuries while building strong, resilient muscles and stabilizers. The included 120-page step-by-step guide, created by a physical therapist, provides clear guidance on which exercises to use for each injury and how to target specific strength and mobility work.
Exercise Levels and Progression:
The training guide outlines 10 levels of difficulty. For levels 1 and 2, simply go through the range of motion allowed by the board. There is no time requirement for these initial levels; the goal is to become familiar and comfortable with the movement.
From level 3 onwards, your objective is to maintain a balanced position for 20 seconds on both your left and right foot before advancing to the next level. The single-leg design forces neglected muscles to work, addressing the root cause of pain more effectively than two-footed boards.
- Beginner (Levels 1-2): Focus on gentle movements and familiarization with the board's balance dynamics.
- Intermediate (Levels 3-6): Work on maintaining balance for specified durations, gradually increasing stability.
- Advanced (Levels 7-10): Incorporate more complex movements and challenges, such as single-legged balance with body positioning or pistol squats, as detailed in the guide.
The AxisBoard is portable and convenient, making it easy to integrate into your daily routine at home, the office, or the gym.
