Built for pain relief and sports performance.
The Fasciitis Fighter ROUND 2 is a 30cm foot and ankle board that holds your toes in extension, so an ordinary heel raise becomes high load foot strengthening. Both feet at once from day one, single leg when you are ready for it.
Rolling a ball, stretching the calf and resting all change how the foot feels. None of them change what it can tolerate.
The missing piece is load, applied in a position the foot can actually be strengthened in.
Every step, stair and long shift on your feet places load on the plantar fascia and the small muscles of the foot. Pain tends to build when that load is more than the foot can currently tolerate.
That is why load tolerance matters. Strengthening raises what the foot can handle, so the demands of a full day sit comfortably within its capacity instead of pushing past it.

"I'm a physical therapist of 10+ years and this does a great job of helping to get rid of plantar fascia pain, Achilles tendon pain and many of the issues created by modern footwear and lifestyles. I wish I had thought of this myself!"
"All our physiotherapists at Macquarie Street Physiotherapy love this product. We have had amazing success with clients with plantar fasciitis, balance or foot issues. We stock it and recommend it to all our clients."
Held in this position, the board helps improve the load tolerance of the plantar fascia and engages the small muscles of the foot better.
The raised front holds your big toe in extension. That is the windlass mechanism, and it draws the plantar fascia tight before you have moved a muscle.
Lower slowly, drive up slowly. With the fascia already under tension, the load runs through the plantar fascia, calf, Achilles and the small muscles of the foot together.
Two feet, then one foot, then one foot holding weight, then balance work. Same board the whole way through.
Long enough to take both feet at once, which is where most people need to start.
Progress with single leg foot drills once tolerated.
Balance work either on the hump, or flip the board over for a wobble board option.
Pain is usually the foot telling you it cannot tolerate what is being asked of it. Building capacity is what stretching alone does not do.
Every stride, every jump, every change of direction. Stronger feet and ankles hold their shape and put force into the ground instead of losing it. That's why pro sports teams around the world use our products.
Sold in hundreds of health practitioner clinics worldwide.
The Fasciitis Fighter ROUND 2 was designed by an Australian physiotherapist with 18 years of experience in foot and running injuries. It was built to do one thing properly: put the foot in a position where it can be loaded, then let you add load from there.

The wedge side. It asks for less toe extension, and you can make it easier again by placing less of the foot on the wedge. Move to the curved side when that feels comfortable.
Stand with your toes up on the raised section and your heels on the floor, holding a wall or bench for balance. Rise slowly onto your toes for about 3 seconds, pause for 2 seconds at the top, then lower for 3 seconds. Start with both feet and move to one foot as you get stronger. Exercise guides and video tutorials are included.
Once a day or every second day, so the foot has time to recover between sessions. A common progression is 3 sets of 12 to begin, building to 4 sets of 10 and then 5 sets of 8 as you add load. Your physiotherapist or podiatrist can tailor the sets, reps and tempo to you.
You should be able to do normal calf raises on a flat floor before you start. Expect some tension and mild discomfort, and some calf soreness in the first weeks is common. It should not go beyond mild discomfort. If your symptoms get worse, stop and see your health professional.
Many people notice a change within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use, and the research program the board is built around ran for 12 weeks. Results vary from person to person. Consistency matters more than intensity.
Those with persistent heel pain that is not improving and who need to build load tolerance, runners and athletes building foot and ankle strength, and anyone who wants more capacity through the calf, Achilles and foot.
Hold off if you have a new or very irritable flare-up, a plantar fascia tear, a foot fracture, an acute calf or Achilles injury, or heel or foot pain that has not been assessed. See your health professional first. The board is an exercise tool, not a substitute for an assessment.
Length is the difference. The original is sized for one foot and is the compact, portable option. The ROUND 2 is 30cm long, so it takes both feet at once. That makes it far easier to start with, and it still handles single leg work as you get stronger.
When the big toe is pulled up into extension, the plantar fascia winds tight across the bottom of the foot, the same way winding a rope around a drum tightens it. The raised front of the board puts your foot into that position and holds it there while you work.
High density EVA foam with a ribbed non slip top surface. Light enough to move around the house, dense enough to hold its shape under daily load. Keep it out of direct sunlight and extreme heat, and clean it with warm soapy water when needed.

After 8 years of data and feedback, and tens of thousands of products sold, we continue to refine our products to get the best outcome for you.
A gentler entry side that asks for less toe extension, so there is somewhere comfortable to start before the curve.
Improved grippy EVA with a ribbed top surface. It holds the foot in place and still feels comfortable barefoot.
The shape that made the Fasciitis Fighter work is untouched, because that is the part doing the job.
The ROUND 2 puts your foot in the position it needs to be loaded in, and gives you somewhere to progress for months.
