Therapy Gyroscopes
Fitness and therapy gyroscope
Therapy gyroscopes are very similar to a wobble board, but thanks to the shape of a hemisphere they offer a much greater range of motion. Therapy gyroscopes strengthen the muscles of the legs and trunk, as well as the sense of balance and body feeling. The base is often made of a non-slip plastic. In addition, there are models with knobs or grooved surfaces, which also prevent slipping and also enhance perception when used barefoot.
As a space-saving balance device, the therapy gyroscope is ideal for surgeries and rehabilitation centers, but also for training at home, outdoors or in the gym. It is also ideal for relaxation exercises for working people who mainly work sitting down to prevent damage to their intervertebral discs.
The gyroscope is also used in neurophysiological treatment in all motor development stages: supine, prone, crawling, sitting, kneeling and standing. In all these positions, patients practice coordination, balance and automatic reactions of the legs, arms and trunk.
Therapy gyroscopes are therefore used in many different areas. That is why they are suitable for different professions and people interested in sports. These are, for example:
- Physical education teacher
- Trainer
