With a single unbalance axis, perfectly balanced, very low weight, high elasticity and resistant to static-dynamic loads of more than 350 kg, the T-BOW® is reactive to the slightest movement, changing its inertia quickly, thus optimizing a Postural and coordinative adjustment with a high level of precision, both in a stable curved-convex step position, as well as in the unstable concave rocker and concave/convex double T-BOW® positions.
Very Quick and Precise Postural Adjustment
The T-BOW®'s curved design, high reactivity, lightweight and single axis of instability promote high proprioceptive sensitivity, enabling very quick and precise postural adjustments.
* On concavity, convexity and narrow edges.
* In stable and unstable situations.
* Barefoot and with sport shoes; and with socks on the wooden version.
* Coordination and balance applicable in therapy and daily and sport activities, for all ages and performance levels.
* Deep joint stabilization & healthy back.
* Glass microspheres in the Wood T-BOW® greatly enhance tactile precision and responsiveness for barefoot use.
- High precision-sensitivity in a stable convex-curved step position for: front-lateral-posterior musculation of the kinesiologically healthy trunk with a greater range of motion than on a flat surface, mobilizations of the spine, stretching of the upper-lower back and neck and legs, jumps on a curved inclined plane, dynamic supports of feet-knees-hips-arms-hands-trunk-neck-head and static balances on one or more parts of the body in the convexity.
Arch Adapted to the Spine's Natural Anatomical Lumbar Lordosis
a. Lying backward on the T-BOW®—thanks to its high proprioceptive sensitivity—prevents the spine from sinking, allowing partially blocked vertebrae to receive mobilizing pressure that promotes natural anatomical lumbar lordosis.
b. Therapeutic segmental strengthening and mobilization of vertebrae while lying prone, sideways or supine.
c. The T-BOW® enables strengthening the abs while maintaining a stable anatomical-structural lumbar lordosis and through a greater range of motion than a flat surface.
d. Thoracic back extension, moves from kyphosis toward lordosis, staying within the T-BOW®'s 40-45-degree limit.
45-Degree Arch for the Wood T-BOW®
40-Degree Arch for the Classic T-BOW®

* Thoracic Kyphosis
20-40 degree arch
* Lumbar Lordosis
40-50 degree arch
- High precision-sensitivity in unstable positions of concave rocker for: balances in support of feet-knees-hip-arms-hands-trunk-head on the lateral edges (enhancing the functional screwing of the longitudinal axis of the leg) and the different parts of its concavity, jumps on the lateral edges and the concavity, static balances of one or more parts of the body and swinging turns.
Therapeutic Benefits of T-BOW® Lateral Swinging
With rapid and precise movement adjustments!!
Placing the feet on the narrow edges of the T-BOW® requires bilateral ankle control, promoting leg verticality and excellent segmental independence.
Active knee movement outward enhances the valuable training of the functional screw connection of the entire leg's longitudinal axis, in spiral dynamics, which is extremely beneficial by providing deep and fine stabilization of the foot, knee and hip joints, basis for a strong spinal foundation.
- High precision-sensitivity in unstable position of double concave/convex T-BOW® for: mobilization of the spine and back stretches on dynamic convexity, swings in support of feet-knees-hip-arms-hands-trunk-head on the lateral edges and the concavity, and on the convexity, static balances on one or several parts of the body in convexity or concavity.
Unique for Balance and Coordination on Unstable T-BOW®
Arched design, reactivity, lightweight and single axis of instability promote high proprioceptive sensitivity for rapid and precise postural adjustments.
Many alternatives to place de feet on concavity, narrow edges and convexity, in stable and unstable conditions.
Barefoot and with sport shoes. Also with socks on the Wood T-BOW®, which has narrower edges and its concavity has glass microspheres which extraordinarily enhances tactile sensitivity.
Balance and coordination for prophylaxis and challenges for a wide range of users, applicable to daily and sport activities.
Placing the feet on the narrow edges of the T-BOW® requires bilateral ankle control, promoting leg verticality and excellent segmental independence, also making possible a functional screw connection of the leg's longitudinal axis in spiral dynamics.
Balancing on the T-BOW® is fun and gives wellbeing, like a mother's gentle sway her baby.
* Training Tip: using softer and less reactive platforms or surfaces as contrast tasks for other tasks performed on more reactive platforms or surfaces where we practice sports or daily activities, can be a resource to enrich movement optimization in a timely manner, if properly planned!!
