Wobble Board for Rehabilitation Techniques

Are you familiar with the wobble board? This simple yet effective piece of equipment is used for specific rehabilitation techniques. The wobble board can be utilized to aid balance and provide many other benefits to those recovering from ankle, knee and hip injuries.  Wobble boards help to naturally relieve the stiffness that affects the muscles and joints following a sprain or other injury.  Strength, range of motion and muscle memory can be improved as the patient gently balances with both feet on the board and attempts to maintain equilibrium.


Other rehab, balance and strength building exercises can be employed using the wobble board. It’s one part of our comprehensive physical therapy services that we invite you to try!
