2. Balance Board Warning:
•
Balance Boards are on the "extreme" end of fitness training equipment, and can be dangerous. An unstable surface
for exercising is not for everyone. There is a good chance of loosing balance and falling. Anyone with degraded bone
density should not take this risk.
•
People with back, neck or leg problems should be carefully instructed before using balance boards. You should build
up your usage time gradually to see how your body tolerates it. If you experience any low back pain, please stop
exercising.
•
If you have any kind of physical problem, ask your physician whether using a balance board is safe for you.
•
Warning! Use this board on a textured surface such as a carpet or exercise mat only. Any non textured surfaces such
as hardwood or tile can cause the board to slip out from its position.
3. Product Description
The Wobble Board is a great tool for enhancing balance, coordination, and range of motion: key benefits for athletes
at every level. The disc rests on a spherical base, allowing 360 degrees of movement over 10-20 degrees of tilt. Great
for home use, or for the office: use as a footrest. Build pelvic stability, strengthen knees and increase the motion range
of your ankles.
4. Why use balance board?
The body has sensors all around it which sense the position of the body parts even without looking. These sensors are
called proprioceptors. The ankle or lower leg possible damage corresponds with the possibility of damage to the
proprioceptors as well. If you have ever started to turn your ankle over and it has automatically righted itself then it’s
the proprioceptors working automatically to prevent further injury. Using a core board on a regular basis can help
retrain the proprioceptors and improve coordination, hence preventing further injury. All the athlete has to do is stand
on the board and try to keep it horizontal - without the edges touching the floor.
