Practical and Robust: Multifunctional bow made of synthetic fiber (high-density polyethylene) or natural wood, developed for more than 10 years at the University of Zurich (Switzerland), since 2005, finalist for the ISPO Brand New Award 2006, Germany. Its dimensions (70x50x17 cm.) And structural design make it possible to use it in a reduced space and to be stacked (more than 40 units with great stability), saving space. It has non-slip natural rubber feet, a narrow surface a

The T-BOW® as an effective workout for integral health and fitness: Physical condition (speed, strength, endurance, flexibility and relaxation). Coordination and balancing in static-dynamic situations. Very fine and quick space-time and rhythmic postural adjustments. Balanced back and stable joints (activation of deep muscles). The arch allows a greater range of motion than a flat surface, and supports the lumbar spine anatomically and with stability. Precision in addressing
