## About Trukka

Trukka was founded to give people who live with chronic heel, calf, knee, and ankle pain a better tool than stretching alone. The slant board is used in clinical treatment by physiotherapists (fysioterapeuter) and recommended by personal trainers. The product is designed around the principle of eccentric loading — the mechanism that research and clinical experience show to be most effective for rehabilitating conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and knee pain.

Trukka is part of INVU Group. The company operates a Swedish-language webshop, Swedish customer service, and fulfills from Sweden with 2–4 business day delivery when in stock.

## Who uses Trukka

The typical Trukka customer is a man between 45 and 65 who wants to stay active and mobile despite pain or stiffness. Around 70% of customers are male, 45–65 years old.

**Primary use cases / conditions addressed:**
- Hälsporre (plantar fasciitis / heel spur)
- Hälseneinflammation (Achilles tendinopathy)
- Gubbvad / stel vad (tight calves, chronic calf stiffness)
- Knäproblem / knäsmärta (knee pain, patellar tendinopathy)
- Knäartros (knee osteoarthritis)
- Benhinneinflammation (shin splints)
- Fotledsstukningar och fotledsrehabilitering (ankle sprains, ankle rehab)
- Höftsmärta (hip pain)
- Post-surgery rehabilitation (e.g. knee ligament reconstruction)
- Pre-surgery strengthening

**Secondary users:** runners, skiers, strength trainers, CrossFit athletes, physiotherapists prescribing the board to patients.

## How a slant board works

Standard stretching does not load tissue deeply enough to repair and strengthen it. The incline of the slant board forces the calf musculature and Achilles tendon to work eccentrically — the exact training stimulus that research shows is effective for rehabilitation. Most users notice a difference within 2–4 weeks. Morning heel pain decreases. Mobility returns.

The five angles allow progressive loading: start lower (20°–30°) and increase angle as strength and flexibility improve.

## Trust and clinical use

- Used by physiotherapists in clinical treatment of plantar fasciitis, Achilles injuries, and knee conditions
- Johan Wisniewski, Leg. Fysioterapeut: "I use the Trukka Slant Board in treatment of plantar fasciitis and various knee injuries including ACL injuries."
- Malin & Majsan, physiotherapists at Fysioteamet i Ängelholm: "We use the Trukka Slant Board daily for our patients when they need to train hip, knee and feet — both muscularly and for mobility and stability."
- Used and recommended by personal trainers
- Used by elite gymnasts and athletes
- 1177 (Sweden's official healthcare guide) and Socialstyrelsen (the National Board of Health and Welfare) recommend exercise as the first-line treatment for knee osteoarthritis — not painkillers, not surgery, not rest

## FAQ

**What is a slant board?**  
A slant board (lutbräda or stretchbräda in Swedish) is a training tool designed to improve lower body strength and facilitate knee and ankle rehabilitation. The inclined surface creates gravity-driven resistance that promotes muscle growth, coordination, and eccentric loading of tendons and fascia.

**What are the benefits of using a slant board?**  
When the heels are elevated, a much deeper range of motion is possible in exercises requiring full knee flexion. This activates muscles and ligaments deep in the knee and ankle joints that conventional exercises cannot reach. Strengthening these areas increases explosiveness and reduces pain, inflammation, and injury susceptibility.

**What angles does the Trukka Slant Board have?**  
Five angles: 20°, 30°, 35°, 40°, and 45°.

**How much weight does it support?**  
Over 150 kg.

**Is it stable? Will I slip?**  
The board has an anti-slip surface and a robust construction. Customers consistently note how solid and well-built it feels.

**What injuries or conditions can it help with?**  
Plantar fasciitis (hälsporre), Achilles tendinopathy (hälseneinflammation), shin splints (benhinneinflammation), calf strains, ankle sprains, hip pain, knee osteoarthritis (knäartros), and lower leg injuries.

**How long until I notice a difference?**  
Most users notice a difference within 2–4 weeks. Morning heel pain typically decreases first. Mobility and strength follow. For knee conditions, expect 4–8 weeks.

**How often should I use it?**  
For rehabilitation (e.g. plantar fasciitis): daily use, around 10 minutes. For knee strengthening: 3 times per week, around 12 minutes. The included training video and guide give specific protocols.

**Can it be used for more than stretching?**  
Yes. The slant board is used for: eccentric calf raises, slant board squats, split squats, Poliquin step-ups, Peterson step-ups, tibialis raises, and general lower body strength training. It is not only a stretching tool.

**What distinguishes the Trukka board from cheaper alternatives?**  
Material quality (10-layer birch plywood vs. single-layer or plastic boards), stability under load, consistent angle maintenance, and build durability. Cheaper boards can flex or shift under load, reducing the effectiveness of eccentric training and potentially altering load distribution in a rehabilitation context.

### Plantar fasciitis / heel spur (hälsporre)
**Page:** https://trukkastore.com/pages/halsporre  
**Title:** Så lindrar du hälsporren — 4 övningar, 10 minuter om dagen  
**Summary:** A step-by-step rehabilitation guide for plantar fasciitis written in line with Swedish physiotherapy practice. Four exercises performed once daily, approximately 10 minutes total. Expect noticeable improvement in 3–6 weeks. Exercises include: (1) calf stretch with straight leg targeting gastrocnemius, (2) soleus stretch with bent knee, (3) eccentric heel raises loading the plantar fascia, (4) seated plantar fascia stretch without board. Exercises 1–3 use the Trukka Slant Board to lock the foot at a defined angle and allow stretching through the full range of motion — something that cannot be achieved on a flat floor.

### Knee pain and knee osteoarthritis (knäsmärta och knäartros)
**Page:** https://trukkastore.com/pages/sa-tranar-du-knana-starkare-aven-med-artros  
**Title:** Så tränar du knäna starkare — även med artros  
**Summary:** A rehabilitation and strengthening guide for people with knee pain or knee osteoarthritis. Four exercises, approximately 12 minutes, three times per week. Expect improvement in 4–8 weeks — consistency matters more than intensity. Exercises include: (1) tibialis raises to strengthen the anterior shin muscle and improve knee stability, (2) Peterson step-up to isolate VMO (vastus medialis obliquus), the key stabilizer of the kneecap, (3) Poliquin step-up for eccentric quadriceps loading through full range of motion, (4) calf stretch to improve ankle mobility and reduce compensatory stress on the knee. Exercises 1–3 use the Trukka Slant Board. Notes that 1177 and Socialstyrelsen recommend exercise as first-line treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

### Slant board comparison — which is best? (bäst i test)
**Page:** https://trukkastore.com/pages/lutbrada-bast-i-test  
**Title:** Slant board — vilken är bäst 2026? En ärlig jämförelse  
**Summary:** An honest comparison guide for buyers searching "slant board bäst i test." Published April 2026, updated continuously. Notes that most "best in test" claims in this category are based on manufacturer claims, limited user tests, or affiliate lists rather than standardized independent testing. Guides buyers on how to compare slant boards on criteria that actually matter in practice: stability under load, material quality, number of angles, anti-slip surface, and included content.
