Rocker Boards and Balance Boards

Rocker Boards and Balance Boards

bp-a80203p8-p08The difference between Rocker Boards and Balance/Wobble Boards is that Rocker Boards will only rock either forwards or backwards, or side to side, depending on how you position the board. Balance Boards, also called Wobble Boards, on the other hand are available with various degrees of tilt angle on a domed base and so are able to rock throughout all directions and can help retrain your sense of balance after injury, preventing further injury and ensuring a speedy return to sport. Rocker Boards form a useful adjunct to posture improvement as well as abdominal and trunk strengthening along with increasing tone in the quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles. Anyone who has undergone knee surgery would benefit from proprioceptive re-education, including cartilage and ligament operations as well as anybody with arthritic joints. bp-jt-40488-p01
