Prevent injuries & get better results
Slant boards are becoming increasingly popular in the physiotherapy and rehabilitation industry, as they can improve your recovery and help prevent injuries. Using a slant board angles your body in a pain preventative position by slightly changing the way it moves during exercise, which also helps reduce strain. The unique function of a slant board is that it elevates your heels and slightly tilts your body, which affects how your muscles and joints work. This angle change distributes the effort more evenly and allow you to work your muscles in the full range of motion.
Through this balanced activation of muscles, it helps prevent injuries like strains and sprains, which can happen when you put too much stress on one part of your body. By using a slant board, you’re also improving your body’s alignment and stability.
If you want to improve your flexibility and strength through stretches and yoga exercises, slant boards also help with this. It allows you to have more control whilst stretching and helps your muscles stay loose and less prone to injury. Plus, these boards are great for rehabilitation if you’ve had an injury by providing a safe way to work on strengthening and stretching without emphasising strain on your healing tissues.
Overall, slant boards encourage a balanced workout, which helps keep all parts of your body healthy and in full functioning order.
