Standing, running, jumping, and balancing – we expect only the best from our feet on a daily basis.
An intact foot anatomy is therefore essential for our entire body, a realization which is gaining momentum among athletes, physical therapists and people in general who like to move.
BlackBoard is the first device to focus on mobilizing and activating feet.
Designed with the latest medical recommendations in mind, the BlackBoard has been tested on athletes and applied in practice. Here’s a look at working with the BlackBoard system.

Why are agile feet so important?
Feet are one of the most complex body parts of the human body. With 26 bones each and countless joints and ligaments, they cushion our steps, support knee joints, and provide stability. However, daily life can get in the way of the natural flow of our feet’s movements, causing them to stiffen up like a rusty machine.
This imbalance can trigger physical problems anywhere in our body.
A healthy foot enhances performance during recreational and professional activities and lowers the risk of injury.

Lars Grandjot
The Creators behind BlackBoard
Their Idea didn't just come out of the blue.
Sports scientist Gregor Stumpf and physiotherapist Lars Grandjot work together at a physical therapy office in Cologne. Shortly after they started treating patients and athletes, they realized what an important role a healthy foot plays in everything we do. Unfortunately, Lars also learned this from personal experience. After twisting his ankle once, he had issues for years and decided his case needed new treatment methods. Hence, the BlackBoard was born. After a two-year development phase, the BlackBoard prototype was ready for extensive testing. This innovative tool provided brand new therapeutic and preventative approaches to help people suffering from chronic conditions. Patients, therapists, and doctors alike were enthusiastic about working with a BlackBoard and later confirmed the efficacy of its concept. We are proud to continue producing high-quality BlackBoards in their home town of Cologne.
A training device that takes into account the complex movement patterns of the foot and ankle and is excellent for training the foot and leg muscles - both in prevention and rehabilitation. The clear usage instructions and videos make it easy for patients to use.Dr. Mellany Galla, Foot and Ankle Surgeon - former President of the German Society for Foot and Ankle Surgery
We use the BlackBoard for prevention and rehabilitation, and the results would be enough to convince anyone. It’s the first training device that captures the complexity of your foot and let’s you workout on all three planes of motion. Dr. Burak Yildirim, team doctor Bayer 04 Leverkusen
The BlackBaord can easily be integrated into a sports therapist’s or physical therapist’s daily routine. It can also help an experienced manual physical therapist with a functional foot mobilization. It’s an ideal therapeutic aid that every therapist and athlete should have.Frank Offermann, physical therapist, osteopath "Deutscher Basketball Bund"
Training with the BlackBoard is an utterly unique way to work the complex variety of movements in our feet. Several wellthought-out exercise programs will guide you and are easy to follow. Athletes and patients alike achieve a stabile foundation for almost any athletic movement.Dr. Oliver Ludwig, human biologist and author of “Ganganalyse in der Praxis”
Why make it complicated when it can be this simple? It’s effective training for your lower ankle joint.Dr. med. Guido Laps, team physician TSV Bayer Dormagen Handball
