I bought these to work on eccentric squats for my chronic patellar tendonitis in my right knee. I’ve been suffering with it for over 2 years now and have tried just about everything, but I’ve read a lot about rehab for recovering from patellar tendinitis and these were my first choice. Been doing squats with one foot on each at about a 16 degree incline, but I’m also experimenting with them stacked on top of one another (bodyweight squats) and seem to be doing great. I will update this a few weeks from now.
EDIT: WOW I would have totally forgotten about this comment if I didn't look back at this order. I think this product is amazing, and my patellar tendinitis is now 95% healed (WHICH IS MINDBLOWING because I was chronically in 5-8/10 pain ranges for 2.5 years. Been doing progressively overloaded (adding weight, now up to 45lbs per hand) concentric, isometric, and single leg slant squats — single leg only at 15lbs per hand The only recommendation I will give is to maybe invest in some grip take to attach to the top. These blocks have held up, but at my gym I noticed they had the same wedges with griptape installed and it is so much easier to maintain stability regardless of your footwear. Honestly, the higher cost slant boards (wooden, adjustable etc) might be worth it but you can get some solid work in with these. I've even been experimenting with each wedge sitting roughly top of eachother for a 25-30~ degree incline (if you place one about 1-2" forward the slope isnt so great) and that has helped to further my progress.

Really works!
This slant board is wonderful! 🙂 I use it first thing in the morning as I stand to say my morning prayers. The back of my calves are very stiff every morning. I stand on it for about 20 to 30 minutes and it gives me relief, enabling me to start my day easier. My daughter has been using this for around five yrs and is now able to squat all the way down on her haunches. This really works! And it is light weight and reasonable.

They do offer various angles for working into wheel.Forearm stand: perfect width for my shoulders.Sitting at the computer: My wife and I use a wedge to aid in proper posture while sitting in front of a computer.I like the wedges so much I purchased a few sets for my yoga studio!A must for the prop bin!

These are sturdy, comfortable, and perfect to stand on or use to sit on for.
I bought these to use for physical therapy for my toddler son that has cerebral palsy. He can’t sit on his own and needs to build muscles, get better body control, and balance. These are perfect and I’m extremely satisfied. They are firm enough to sit, very comfortable, and the material they are made from doesn’t make him slip down off the wedges. It comes with 2 so you can also use it as a block if you need to bring his feet up to a certain level for alignment. The price is perfect. So many equipment for use on Physical Therapy is so expensive. Absolutely love them.

i bought this StrongTek foam wedge slant board for my “home foot gym” while rehabbing after foot-ankle surgery. it’s been useful and the quality is terrific. it is versatile for any number of ways to incorporate it into my foot and leg exercises. it has especially helped me with restoring range of motion while beginning weight bearing after a long time of being off my foot.

It is more than a Yoga Foam Wedge…..
This was my first time purchasing a Yoga foam wedge. And I am very happy I bought this StrongTek foam. Besides using it for Yoga, it can be utilized for so many other exercises. I personally use it for weight training. I do incline lunges,squats, and deadlifts. It is also great for stretching the calves after all these exercises. It is nice and large and very sturdy.I really enjoy my exercises more using this foam wedge. Besides being a great product, StrongTek customer service is also a 5 star rating. I cannot predict the durability of this product because I just received it and used it for only one week. But, with good care, I am sure it will last.

Should have had these years ago.
I got these to elevate my heels during squats to feel them more in the quads as opposed to glutes. The angle is just right for me. Had been putting my heels on two 25 lb plates for years. This is so much better. I thought they would be more foamy / squishy. I am 117 lbs and use them for bodyweight or very light (20 – 25 lbs) goblet squats. They are dense and I definitely don’t sink into them. I am confident you wouldn’t be sinking to the floor with much higher weight. Guess I didn’t pay attention to the size but they are bigger than I thought prior to purchase and I am glad. I am also using one wedge to place on my thighs and lean on to for seated posterior delt work. Takes the pressure off my low back. Could probably use one wedge to keep your chin tucked during hip thrust but I haven’t tried this yet. I tried doing standing calf raises on them and the incline is a bit much. I will stick to plates or the leg press for calves…

Bought these on recommendation by my son’s specialist to encourage sitting up straight. Works perfect, is firm and sturdy enough to withstand the rough handling of a child.
