Testimonial
“The Powerslide has been a useful tool in physical therapy with the rehab of ACL injuries and patella-femoral dysfunction. It is easily adjustable for different levels of difficulty. The Powerslide stays stationary on the floor, unlike other slide boards that I have used. Some of our high school hockey players have found it to be helpful for their training, especially since there is no permanent rink in our area. Overall I think the Powerslide is a great device to use for strength and endurance.”
