About StrongBoard Balance:

StrongBoard Balance employs patented multi-spring technology which promises users will never find a point of stabilization. Compressing under any weight bearing load, including the human body, StrongBoard’s springs are both reactive and dynamic. Simply standing on StrongBoard requires total core engagement.

Unlike other balance devices on the market, StrongBoard Balance offers a flat, rigid platform, and it’s perfect for standing on one foot or two, planking on one hand or two, and v-sit exercises. Designed by ACE certified personal trainer, Mike Curry and a team of engineers, StrongBoard is easy and safe to get on and off, and it’s flat platform protects joints and surrounding ligaments from unnatural supination or strain, allowing the user to mimic real-life movements in all positions.  StrongBoard Balance weighs 15 pounds and may also be used as a weight for bicep, tricep, chest and abdominal exercises.

In addition to the muscular and skeletal benefits, use of StrongBoard requires the muscles to communicate with the brain, effectively opening, healing, restoring and strengthening delicate neural pathways. The biomechanics of spring technology coupled with the rigid platform require users to find their true center of gravity, allowing these neural pathways to be created or restored without fragmentation.

About StrongBoard MINI:

StrongBoard MINI functions exactly the same as StrongBoard Balance, and offers all of the same diversity, challenges and neurological stimulation, with one exception.  Its springs are 2” shorter making it less reactive, and bringing the platform closer to the ground. Perfect for at-risk seniors, anyone living with a motor skill or neurological disorder such as Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy or Ataxia, anyone on the Autism Spectrum, persons working with ADHD, recovering from stroke, or rehabilitating an injury, StrongBoard MINI is the go-to tool for gains in treatment and healing. It is also an excellent alternative physical therapy for those individuals who require creative ways to remain strong after experiencing an above-the-elbow (AE) transhumoral, above-the-knee (AK) transfemoral surgery or amelia. StrongBoard Balance has also been utilized by individuals who look to the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association ( AOPA ) for innovation and advancement in strength training.

How StrongBoard Balance Works:

StrongBoard Balance has 4 individual compression springs situated between a base and a platform. The unique affect of StrongBoard Balance is how the springs work once weight is applied. When a user stands on the board, the springs compress. The user’s body instantly searches for stabilization. Because of the force applied to the springs from the user’s body weight, StrongBoard Balance will not allow stabilization to occur. Every muscle contracts in search of the stability it is used to on solid ground. As long as the user is on the board, compression in the springs will keep muscles in contraction the entire time.

Exercising with StrongBoard Balance:

StrongBoard Balance offers multiple options for users. Its primary function is to strengthen the stabilizing muscles.

Simply standing and holding one’s balance provides a complete core workout. When performing basic exercises on StrongBoard Balance, such as squats or push ups, users experience real results much faster than traditional core workouts targeting the same muscle groups. For an effective and efficient upper body workout, StrongBoard Balance
strengthens and tones the user’s arms, chest, and back when used as a push up device. Virtually any floor exercise may be conducted on a StrongBoard Balance for expedited strength and stamina. Skilled users may incorporate more advanced techniques, such as dual motion plyometrics. This promotes active muscle contraction producing even more intense and rapid results.

Rehabbing with StrongBoard Balance:

Paired with a licensed physical therapist, StrongBoard Balance Boards aid in the recovery from injury created by imbalance by gently increasing the patient’s flexibility, range of motion, and strength. Over time, with repeated use, this will help rebuild the bridge between the brain and the injured muscle. As users regain strength and decrease the pain associated with the injury, their range of motion increases allowing for increased blood flow and further healing.
