Hi, I'm Paul.
Founder — Layered ProductionsI tore my ACL a few years back and spent a lot of time figuring out how to rehab it at home without spending a fortune. Backwards walking kept coming up as one of the most effective things I could do. But I was shocked to discover that the only treadmill purpose-built for that kind of training costs around $720!
I found this post ↗ on reddit in which BlackTankGuy utilized a Sunny Health manual treadmill with a wedge-based resistance system using a doorstop and felt pad. I loved the DYI solution and immediately made one for myself. It did the job for a while, but I wanted to create a more elgant and permanent soluton. So I designed an add-on.
What started as a personal project turned into something other people asked about. So I cleaned it up, sourced some hardware, and started selling it on Etsy. I'm not a big operation. Every unit is printed, packed, and shipped by me.
