SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY with the T-BOW®
MOVEMENT THERAPY · GLOBAL HEALTH
The T-BOW® was designed for physiotherapy and it is widely used for all kinds of movement therapies, in back centers, rehabilitation centers, sports physiotherapy, and in health centers.
Partially blocked vertebrae receive a gentle mobilizing pressure when stretching on the back on the T-BOW® and without sinking, unlike on the Swiss ball (fitball) and other soft utensils such as the bosu, el balance dome (TechnoGym) or togu. Likewise, it can be mobilized, stretched and toned segmentally.
The curvature of the arch is adapted to the natural anatomical-structural lordosis of the lower back (lumbar spine) and allows the abdominals a greater range of movement and a very effective reinforcement without losing stability during the trajectory of the trunk, unlike when performing on a flat floor or all other archs not kinesiologically adapted to the lumbar lordosis, in addition to the reactivity that it provides throughout the execution, allowing better precision and localization of the movement.
The T-Bands attached to the T-BOW® can selectively overload the toning of the trunk. The bow perfectly supports the body when leaning on the side, supine or prone on the T-BOW® and keeps the trunk in a neutral, elevated and balanced position.
Functional rotation of the longitudinal axis of the leg is easier to train on the T-BOW® than on flat ground. Feet rest on the edges and sway from side to side. The foot on the deeper side is pronated inward reactively, so as not to slip out. The knees are kept on the feet without moving inward and thus the target muscles are stimulated: hip external rotators, sartorius, quadriceps vastus medialis, frontal shin muscles, ankle-foot pronators, and longitudinal muscles. of the foot.
There are many other static-dynamic balance exercises with the T-BOW® in the longitudinal and transverse position, which also effectively train all the deep stabilizing muscles of the joints.
The T-BOW® is a great support for stretching, it promotes a more upright position of the pelvis when stretching the hamstrings, allows for better reaching of the calf muscles, and allows for a more effective and upright stretch of the lower leg. spine. Also, double, triple and quadruped supports on the T-BOW® can be less aggressive and more pleasant for the wrists than on flat ground, since its curvature allows support at an angle that reduces the overload on the wrists.
Mobilization and stretching on the T-BOW® also complements chiropractic manipulations and physiotherapeutic mobilizations in an optimal way.
The variants of placing the T-Bands on both sides of the
T-BOW®, apart from allowing individual work without external aid, enables a wide variety of rehabilitation exercises for special muscle strengthening, mainly in the feet, ankles, forearms and hands.
* Ideal for movement rehabilitation and injury prevention.

The T-BOW® is a Swiss-designed multifunctional training and therapy bow, adapted to the physiological lordosis of the lumbar spine, that helps to optimize strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination in a unique way. Originally developed for physiotherapy and training, it has become a favorite for group fitness, personal training, rehabilitation, and sports preparation.
The T-Bow® was invented by Sandra Bonacina, who developed it alongside Viktor Denoth. Its quality has been proven since 1995 in gyms and back schools in Switzerland, and has been tested in group fitness sessions at the University of Zurich since 2005.
Made in Switzerland and Europe with Swiss quality standards. Trusted worldwide!!
Extraordinarily Precise Postural and Coordination Adjustments!
With a single unbalance axis, perfectly balanced, very low weight and high elasticity, the T-BOW® is reactive to the slightest movement or load, changing its inertia rapidly, thus optimizing a postural and coordinative adjustment with a high level of precision, both in the stable position of the curved-convex step, and in the unstable concave rocker and concave/convex double T-BOW®, obviously, provided that the T-BOW® is used on a hard and stable surface, such as the most common ones for physical-sports practice or daily activity.
Two of the differential characteristics of the T-BOW® make it possible to effectively optimize highly reactive and precise static-dynamic balance situations in different postural arrangements, accessible to a large number of individuals:
1) Its high elastic capacity, similar to that of the classic wooden Freeman Plate, which allows rapid feedback to the slightest postural change or movement, thus enabling very fine and fast proprioceptive control of the kinesthetic-tactile and vestibulo-macular system, as well as an extraordinary optimization of the postural and movement precision; unlike softer surfaces, which sink easily and are not very reactive (for example, the bosu, the togu, a fitball, fitball, the balance dome of TechnoGym, ...), which delay feedback more kinesthetic-tactile and vestibulo-macular of posture or movement.
2) Its only axis of imbalance which, together with its reactivity, allows challenging balance and postural situations accessible to many people (even those with more motor control difficulties); unlike other unstable platforms that are based on several unbalance axes or a sphere (eg the Freeman plate,...), and which in some cases add the difficulty of being soft and not very reactive surfaces ( e.g., the bosu, the togu, the fitball, the balance dome of TechnoGym,...), thus forcing that any proposal of posture or balance be reserved for a smaller group of people.
* Thus, with the T-BOW®, most people will optimize their movements and postures with a high level of precision and, in addition, thanks to its useful arched surface due to its concavity and convexity, they will have special and effective resources to optimize their training .
- High precision-sensitivity in stable position of step-curved convex for: frontal-lateral-posterior strengthening of the trunk and neck with a greater range of movement, mobilization of the spine, stretching of the upper-lower back and neck and legs, jumps on a curved inclined plane, dynamic foot-knee-hip-support arms-hands-trunk-neck-head and static balances on one or several parts of the body in the convexity.
T-BOW® Arch adapted to Spine's Natural Anatomical Lumbar Lordosise in Healthy Adults!
The unique offering on the market
a. Lying backwards on the T-BOW® prevents the spine from sinking and partially blocked vertebrae receive sensitive mobilizing pressure to promote the natural antomical lumbar lordosis.
b. The T-BOW® allows for strengthening the abdominals through a greater range of motion than a flat surface while maintaining a stable natural lumbar lordosis.
c. Therapeutic segmental strengthening by lifting individual vertebral in sections while lying prone, sideways or supine.
d. Facilitator for increasing healthy levels of spinal mobility.
- High precision-sensitivity in unstable position of concave rocker for: balances in support of feet-knees-hip-arms-hands-trunk-head on the lateral edges and the concavity, jumps on the lateral edges and the concavity, static balances of one or several parts of the body and swinging turns.
- High precision-sensitivity in unstable position of double concave/convex T-BOW® for: mobilization of the vertebral column and stretching of the back on dynamic convexity, balances in support of the feet-knees-hip-arms-hands-trunk-head on the lateral edges and the concavity, and on the convexity, static balances on one or more parts of the body in convexity or concavity.
