Balance is the basic movement skill from which all other movement skills are learned

Balance training and balance rehabilitation are modalities that have been used in the clinical setting for years. Recently, balance for every day and sport life has become popular as trainers, athletes and active kids and adults realize the importance of balance conditioning. Responding to imbalances automatically through the senses is vital whether you are learning a new skill or simply walking.

The Fitter 20" Wobble Board adjusts to three wobble angle settings of 10, 12 and 15 degrees. The rocker adjustment allows the user to easily change the angle setting for increased range of motion and challenge.

Regular use of Fitter Wobble Boards will challenge the user to respond to varying degrees of imbalance and improve proprioceptive awareness. Proprioception is the body's ability to react appropriately to external forces. When a joint is injured there is a deficit in proprioceptive feedback to the brain. This deficit inhibits properly coordinated muscular effort and results in an altered perception of body-space relation. Without reestablishing proprioception, the other components of the rehabilitation program (flexibility, strength and endurance) cannot be fully orchestrated to achieve the patient's goal of full return to participation. This may result in chronic problems.

Fitter Wobble Boards improve core strength and stability of the trunk and pelvic girdle. Use of the Wobble Board will also improve leg strength and ankle range of motion. The more often you use your board the better your reaction becomes. This leads to greater confidence in daily activities and improved posture. Runners will notice an improvement in the strength and stability of the lower limbs.

"Balance board training can dramatically improve the strength and coordination of all the key muscles involved in running. This should help you avoid injuries and make you a considerably more powerful runner." -Running Research News, Vol.14 Dec. 1998

Balance is important for Seniors as well.

"As more and more research is showing, movement is essential to retaining your health and balance as you age. It is becoming increasingly apparent that doing exercises to build strength and enhance balance is an important compliment to maintaining cardiovascular fitness through aerobic movement." -Mayo Clinic Women's Health Source, Sept. 1999
If your goal is better balance, better sports performance, or faster rehabilitation then Fitter Rocker and Wobble Boards are ideal tools for achieving your goal.
