Breaking news: Hedgehogs have retired!
After many years of faithful service the Hedgehogs have officially retired. Body Organics has discontinued manufacturing them and now that our stocks are exhausted the Hedgehogs are no longer available.
Over the last few years our newer, more versatile MAKARLU range has gradually supplanted the Hedgehogs. MAKARLU offers the same base-level functionality as Hedgehogs, but can do so, so much more! We have now reached the stage where our focus is on developing more great products to add to the MAKARLU range.
MAKARLU – Inspired by Nature. Designed for Movement.
Innovative, elegant, and versatile—MAKARLU breaks new ground in the field of props and tools made for exercise, rehabilitation, and wellness. And just like our Hedgehogs, MAKARLU is made in Australia!

Release, stretch and strengthen your feet with Hedgehogs
Your feet can be a valuable source of stability and strength for fully functional gait and movement. So if your feet are performing as they should, then that’s a great start for the rest of your body! However if your feet are weak, tired, in pain or you suffer from one of a number of common foot issues (e.g. plantar fasciitis), then your feet could well be the root cause of any one of a number of issues further up the chain.
HedgeHogs for calf stretch (remember calf muscles attach to the toes)
Physiotherapists and podiatrists will often recommend a treatment plan for your feet that may include adequately resting your feet, wearing shoes with appropriate arch support and possibly orthotic inserts for your shoes. They may also recommend simple stretching and strengthening exercises such as toe stretches, releasing tight arches and stretching the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia. Exercises to strengthen the muscles of the foot and ankle will help support the arch, plus stretching the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia will increase their flexibility.
HedgeHogs for plantar fasciitis
Hedgehogs are a great adjunct for your foot exercise program. They can be used to help release, stretch and strengthen your feet and to increase flexibility.
