AKRON, Ohio – The Thera-Band® division of The Hygenic Corporation, the leading manufacturer of progressive resistance exercise equipment, is introducing the new Thera-Band Rocker and Wobble Boards to its line of progressive balance training products.
The Rocker Board features uni-planar movement, while the Wobble Board is multi-planar, creating the greatest level of difficulty. The boards can be used in clinical or training environments for closed kinetic chain exercises; ankle and knee injury prevention and strengthening; core strengthening and stability; ankle range of motion and flexibility; and sensorimotor training.
The boards also have a sensory-stimulating surface to provide improved proprioceptive feedback during balance exercises. Additionally, they are light-weight and portable, and feature a unique anti-skid base for use on hard surfaces.
Rocker and Wobble Boards offer the greatest challenge in the Thera-Band System of Progressive Balance. Progressing clients and patients through the beginner, intermediate and advanced Stability Trainers, and finally to the most challenging Rocker and Wobble Boards, trainers and therapists can achieve a complete range of balance exercises with their clients.
The new Rocker and Wobble Boards are sold through Thera-Band distributors. To locate a nearby distributor, call 1-800-321-2135.
