The RIGS RAMP™ is more than just a stretching tool—it’s a story of recovery, mentorship, and carrying forward a legacy that changed my life. 

Throughout my athletic career, I struggled with chronic ankle sprains. No matter how much I trained, taped, or rehabbed, the instability kept coming back—until I discovered a wooden box tucked in the corner of my high school locker room. After consistently using it, something finally changed: my ankles stopped spraining. I felt stronger, more stable, jumped higher, ran faster, and more confident in every movement. 

What I didn’t know at the time was that the wooden box I was using wasn’t just any tool—it was the creation of Roger Erickson, a legendary strength and flexibility coach whose methods had quietly shaped countless athletes before me.

Roger eventually became my mentor, and our bond deepened when I learned that the same simple-looking box that helped me recover was one he had handcrafted decades ago. When Roger passed away, I was entrusted with his original “calf box”—something I will now honor by continuing the production of the tool that changed my athleticism and recovery. The RIGS RAMP™ is a  modified version inspired by Roger’s original calf stretcher, and it will continue to evolve throughout the years.

I realized that if I didn’t step in, this powerful tool—and the recovery method that transformed my body—might disappear. That’s why my family and I began building The RIGS RAMP by hand, using the same precision Roger believed in, so that others could experience the same benefits I did.
