“To take the pressure off my knees, I get on the 8board to loosen up my hips and to get my whole core more flexible. It’s a great movement for injury and pain prevention.”

—Liz Masakayan
pro beach volleyball star

“I love the 8board. I have severely damaged both of my shoulders and both of my knees doing martial arts, mountain biking and/or snowboarding. Using the 8board has allowed me to not only see where my legs and shoulders were not functioning symmetrically, but it has allowed me a fun and easy way to correct the problems. I have gained symmetrical strength, mobility and flexibility in my legs and shoulders thanks to the 8board.  Thanks so much for being on the cutting edge of athletic performance and for sharing that gift with me.”

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.

 

8boarding is a low impact exercise for optimal health. It’s great for rehabilitation as well as prevention of injuries. Loosen up your back muscles and joints while you circulate your entire body, the 8 way!
