Seniors Haven’t Felt This Balanced in Years

Seniors have been balancing responsibilities for years. Balancing on StrongBoard, and specifically StrongBoard Mini, can help seniors maintain their physical balance, so they remain injury free. For anyone with ankle, hip, knee, or core injuries, StrongBoard Mini is ideal for those looking to feel as physically balanced as they were years ago.

StrongBoard Mini has springs which are 2” shorter than StrongBoard, making it somewhat less reactive, while still providing the benefits of 360 degrees of tilt on an unstable surface. Standing on StrongBoard Mini immediately engages the core of all users. Balance training helps elderly people improve proprioception and strength, as well as strengthening ligaments and tendons and other stabilizing muscles.

For most seniors, flexibility and strength training, combined with balance exercises, can help prevent slip and fall accidents more effectively by training the mind and body to naturally respond counter intuitively to instability.

StrongBoard MINI is a responsive balance board and stability trainer for use in physical therapy and active aging. Its patented MULTI SPRING TECHNOLOGY™ is both reactive and dynamic.

In addition to the muscular and skeletal benefits, use of StrongBoard MINI trains the central nervous system, requiring 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. Regular use of StrongBoard MINI will improve balance, core strength, agility, posture and reaction time. All StrongHold Fitness products are proudly made in America.
