PHYSICAL THERAPY: 8boarding
for injury prevention/Injury recovery
The 8board generates power from the body’s
center (hips and trunk), triggers a natural, flowing, figure-8
movement, and moves the limbs in a proper, uniform, and graduated
order. It essentially exercises the joints with no impact and no
improper jarring, strain or pull.
In addition to helping athletes improve their performance, the
8board® offers a number of therapeutic benefits to people from all
walks of life. Physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors,
and even general practitioners rave about the physical and mental
benefits of our products. The 8board is one of the few devices
that opens up the hips, and since all activity begins with the
hips, it seems logical to start every day the 8 way.
You can do simple or complex exercises while on the 8board. The
natural rotation that propels your body can be beneficial to people
of all builds and all ages. It can help injured athletes recuperate
while they practice better form and prevent future injury. It can
help exercise arthritic joints without extreme burden on the bones.
There are documented cases of the 8board speeding recovery time
after knee and hip surgeries.
It has even been used as a remedy for dyslexia, since it operates
both the left and right sides of the brain and body equally. Since
the right side is temporal and the left side is spatial, our bodies
and minds are at a disadvantage if one side dominates the other.
The 8board can alleviate the splicing of these binary forces and
bring fundamental balance and harmony to your mind and body.
