FITTERFIRST PROFESSIONAL 20" ROCKER BOARD
Rocker Board Benefits
Balance rocker boards are an effective way to improve balance, coordination, strength and flexibility throughout the body, especially in the core, legs, knees and ankles. Constructed with durable Baltic birch plywood, the board provides stable, single-plane stance that is perfect for all ability levels. Balance boards and rocker boards are often used to rehabilitate injuries and strengthen muscles and ligaments throughout the core and lower body.

I first used this board in physical therapy. I have had a hip and ankle injury that required physical therapy. They had me use this board and I could feel all the weak areas in my legs and hips. I KNEW I needed to use this board at home EVERY day to get stronger and work on my balance. It's great because you can adjust the bottom domes to three heights, so as one becomes too easy you can move it to the higher level. It has a great nonskid texture too, so your feet stay in place. You can start out slow and work up to more challenging exercises. You can do a forward/backward rock, then turn it the other way to do side to side and balancing, almost like a skateboard or surfboard. Really works all those tiny muscles in there that most people dont work on every day. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to strengthen their lower body, and improve their balance.

This rocker board is far above others and one I returned. Great for general balance but perfect for seniors (I'm 80). This board goes both back to back, and side to side. An important feature. You can also increased the height off the floor. Yes, it is a little pricier but well worth it.

After 2 hip surgeries and a knee replacement on the left, and a Knee replacement that is still in need of a rebuild on the right I bought this. I can't believe how many little muscles it works out. It has helped me with both strength and balance. If you just get on it every day and do what you can It really works. The best part is you can feel your results working in a week or two. I have my balance back and feel more stable than I have in years. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs better balance and stabilization

This balance board is simply the best product to restore, or improve, your balance. I've tried others, but this product is simple to use, effective, and durable.

After breaking my ankle last July and finally getting out of the boot cast in October, I was sent for four weeks of PT. This is the exact board the physical therapist had me use in her office and I found it incredibly helpful for increasing mobility, flexibility, proprioception, and strength. My ankle always felt a little more comfortable after going through the exercises, both dorsiflexion and lateral flexation. When my insurance ran out, rather than continuing PT and paying cash for the office visits out of pocket, I decided to make the investment and purchase the rocker board (and the wobble board) so that I could continue to improve at home. For perspective sake, the price of the rocker board was the same price as one single office visit paid for out of pocket.The board itself is heavy and very sturdy/stable. It looks to me as if it is made from multiple layers of plywood (not, as some reviews mistakenly described, plastic). It has non slip tape on the top that keeps your bare foot secure. It has an ingenious locking device on the bottom that allows you to change the angle at which you're using the board so that as you improve, you can continue to challenge the muscles (and the ankle joint). I use it on top of a non-slip yoga mat to keep it in place on the floor, otherwise the hard plastic ball on the bottom (on which it rests) would slip on our woods floors. This is imperative for safety! At the very least, place it on a rug.Some reviews complain about the price point. Is it pricey? Not when compared to PT. It's made in Canada instead of China, so you are supporting an industry close to home that you know has fair labor practices and conditions (plus, that pretty much guarantees it is not manufactured with something poisonous). The board is seriously substantial and feels to me as if it could last a lifetime and then some. I keep it propped up in the living room and as I am typing this right now, I am using it beneath the dining room table where I am seated. Bottom line, it's only worth it if you're going to use it. But if you do use it, I think you'll see a difference in your ankle/foot rehab.

This is a great product for people who need to develop better balance but are not professional athletes. I use this product for physical therapy and it provides the action I need for my routine. The older model, from Fitter First, was a little slower board and more comfortable to use. This board if used consistently will give you a good workout and improve ankle, leg and core strength. Remember to pull your core muscles in. You can hurt your lower back if you are weak there. This board works best at the higher levels. Highly recommended.
