Wooden Rocker Board

Wobble boards are an effective means of rehabilitation, but for some patients these can be a little beyond their capabilities at the time. They may be in very delicate conditions that require gentle movement, such as those at a very early stage in their rehabilitation, the elderly, or children. In these cases, equipment is needed that can ease them into regular exercise and prepare them for more advanced rehab.

The Wooden Rocker Board is just such an item. Wobble boards tilt in all directions, whilst rocker boards only move in two. Consequently, patients using rocker boards will find rehab gentler and less of a struggle, which can be psychologically beneficial as well as physical.

Benefits of the Wooden Rocker Board

The Wooden Rocker Board is of exceptional quality, constructed from wood to ensure robustness, with a cork surface to prevent slipping and enable easy cleaning. With a 50cm diameter for ample foot space, a 12 degree tilt to aid gentler exercise and a weight load capacity of 160kg (25 stone), the Rocker Board is suitable for most rehab patients.

The Rocker Board is especially helpful in retraining proprioception (sense of balance) following injury, which is essential following ankle sprains in particular. It is also an exceptional aid to posture improvement, core strengthening, and toning the major leg muscle groups. Additionally, it is extremely beneficial for patients recovering from knee surgery, cartilage and ligament operations, and arthritis sufferers.
