Question 1

What is the A-FLEX PRO?

Accepted Answer

A-FLEX is a device designed to replicate the highly effective Mobilisation With Movement (MWM) treatment on the ankle.

MWM helps the talus bone of the foot glide underneath the tibia of the shin. It is used to increase ankle range of motion and has huge amounts of evidence for it's effectiveness in increasing dorsiflexion.

Until now, MWM has required cumbersome self-help techniques or time-intensive treatments with a qualified clinician.

A-FLEX is the world's first device for replicating MWM treatment on the ankle. It provides a cost-effective, self-help way for athletes, coaches and individuals to maximise and improve their ankle range of motion.

With a highly portable design that can be taken anywhere, and benefits seen within 30 seconds of usage per ankle, the A-FLEX is fast-becoming a key tool for warm-ups and recovery in Professional Sports and Rehab Settings.
