ToePro Foot/Ankle Exercise Platform
The ToePro® foot exercise platform has been designed to Improve Performance by strengthening muscles of the foot and leg in their lengthened positions. Compared to conventional exercises, exercising lengthened muscles produces nearly fourfold increases in strength.
Twist Disk
Although there are a wide range of exercises that target each of the transverse plane stabilizers, the easiest way to strengthen all of these muscles simultaneously is with the Twist Disk. This product is comprised of 2 rubber plates that are bolted to a spring-loaded mechanism that provides significant resistance as you rotate the disk in and out.
Two-to-One Ankle Rockboard
The Two-to-One Ankle Rockboard is designed to place your foot in the position of a future sprain and then force you to use your muscles to pull yourself out of the risky position.

Testimonials
“As a practitioner, both in the NBA and at the Meyer Institute of Sport in Los Angeles, I have the honor of working with many different athletes and active adults. Dr. Michaud has provided our team of various practitioners, not only with innovative products, but more importantly, the why to the use. We use the website humanlocomotion.org as a great practical resource and recommend it to practitioners and clients as a resource for knowing ‘why you are doing what you’re doing’.“
“As an athletic trainer in the NBA, the ToePro has become our favorite exercise device for increasing not just toe strength, but also horizontal jump distance. It also plays an important role in injury prevention.“
“I love my ToePro and use it every morning before I run. It helps strengthen my feet, ankles, and calves, and improves my push-off and running form. Takes just a few minutes a day and has helped keep me injury free. I even pack it when I travel!”
“Simplistic genius! The ToePro is incredibly easy to use and my athletes love it. I’m always surprised how many high-level athletes present with toe weakness, and how much they improve after using the ToePro. I wish I started using it sooner!”
“Dr. Michaud’s strengthening protocols kept me running through the toughest parts of my career. Three months after starting treatment for a spinal stress fracture, I set the world record for the marathon in Rotterdam, and the next year, I set another world record in Berlin.”
