This is the original Archxerciser foot strengthening not an imitaion. Designed for strengthening of intrinsic and extrinsic foot musculature and increasing range of motion at the metatarsophalangeal joints. Also used by athletes.
A study was done using the Archxerciser. Subjects were randomly assigned to training with either the left or right foot, with the other side serving as a control, for six weeks. No other training took place during this time. At the end of the six-week program, the subjects were retested for toe flexor strength and jump performance. The results confirmed that subjects gained an inch in vertical, and 4 inches in horizontal jumping distance! This shows that the foot muscles should not be ignored when training.
This device provides great exercise and treatment of plantar fasciitis and heel spur syndrome and is compact and lightweight which allows you to take it anywhere. A valuable tool for foot therapy. Works wonders to relieve sore feet.
