StrongTek Plastic Calf Stretch Board, Slant Board for Calf Stretching, 5-Level Adjustable Incline Board, Enhanced Ankle Flexibility, Targeted Physical Therapy, Durable with Non-Slip Surface

First of all, I don’t write many reviews… but this is an exceptional product. Due to ankle injurie(s), and like most men calves always behind the pack… this device allows you to use body weight at differing angles and very strict reps w strict contraction… the isolation wo the extra weight is a big plus when working around injuries… I actually get a better pump from this than traditional machines… but, once you use this particular one, with the lip on the bottom you would never go back to one that doesn’t have it … you don’t shift off the machine and waste time readjusting. I’ve seen complaints about the space… it has a drop of extra size on bottom but that extra few inches keeps the device stable .. no weight saves injuries but the design allows for perfect reps and isolation of the calf muscle. I also use a tibia device so as to develop the front of calf muscle and what was once a weak part will now be a stand out body part… use those two in combination. This is the 3rd board I have used… if it doesn’t have a decent sized lip, constant slippage will waste valuable time resetting position. The stretch is incredible and have several angles.. but the contraction is as strict as it gets and not thinking about slipping down keeps your concentration on rehabbing/strengthening muscle. Easily worth double what I paid and have tried others … the durability , the form you are forced to stay with , lack of slippage , angles, everything was well thought out and designed . No improvements can be made to this Don’t save 10 dollars and give us all the features that went into this design, this is a great product.

Perfect solution to combat my problems with plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendons!

First, I thought that a 45% grade wouldn't be enough for me because I'm reasonably flexible. Wrong. I actually find that even 40% is too steep for me, causing me to stick my butt out and bend forward, a position that's not comfortable to maintain for much time at all. When stretching on a stairway, I often get to 45 degrees, but it's different when on a supportive surface.I'm not giving it five stars because it doesn't fit one of my expectations and hopes. I'd hoped to just stand on it and watch TV or listen to music, thinking I could stretch for long periods of time. Turns out that you're not very stable (the board is stable, but you standing on a surface at that angle aren't.) You need something to hold onto or you'll quickly either start losing balance or get into that same bad position where your butt sticks out and your torso angles forward to balance your butt.I shouldn't have been surprised. You always have to hold on when you're stretching your calf with your body straight up and down.So far, though, I'm enjoying working with it. It does seem to work, though I actually end up using one leg at a time and supporting myself with the other leg or holding on to something with my hand. I only use it for stretching, but it's well built and well-designed. I'm not that big a guy, I only weigh 160 but at that weight it has absolutely no problem supporting me, it's very stable and does the job.

This is a good product. My calves/ankles are so tight. This stretches out my calves so well, so intensely. I stand on it a few times a day and do some other mobility exercises/stretches. Stiff ankles/tight calves can cause knee problems, which is what drew me to this little device. I do feel like it's helping. It's sturdy and a good price. I can only use it on the first and second settings. The other are way too intense for me at this point in time. I'll continue to use this daily. I recommend this slant board.

If you need to stretch your calf due to a medical problem this is for you. I had been stretching my calfs on a stair, but this gives a much greater stretch. There are several adjustments, I have it adjusted mid level. Light and easy to carry and can also use it when sitting at a desk.

I purchased one of these a couple of years ago - my friend needed it so gave it to her, I purchased this one and although it looks the same, the riser bars are at different inclines. I could use 1st, 2nd and third on my previous slant board. With this new model, I can use level one, which is not as "steep" as the first unit , and level 2, which is steeper than level 2 on the first unit, Level three is almost impossible to stand on without your feet sliding off the back heel stops. Wish I had my "old" model back

I have plantar fasciitis and this slant board is perfect for stretching my calves. You get a much deeper stretch with this rather than on a step. Seems sturdy and light enough to travel with. Easy enough to store away too. Highly recommended.
