Sableline PT Board, Manual

EXERCISE SUMMARY

The recommended exercising on PT Board is extremely dependent on the age and physical con-
dition of the individual user. Since exercising on PT BOARD is highly effective, just brief exercise 
sessions will be sufficient. A complete exercise routine is provided with each PT BOARD, along with 
a video illustrating the various exercises involved. Dynamic exercise is very easy on all joints such as 
hips, knees and ankles. If you have problems with arthritis, PT BOARD is ideal for you, as it will pro-
vide you with all the movement you need in a very short time. This will affect and stimulate cartilage 
formation and increase the production of synovial fluid. Dynamic exercising with PT BOARD involves 
alternate movements which are adjusted to the body’s normal centre of gravity. These trigger a 
stretch reflex in the muscles which can produce up to 1,000 contractions per second, which means 
that small micro-muscles throughout the body are also effectively exercised.

WHAT GOALS CAN I ACHIEVE WITH PT BOARD?

•  Increased circulation

•  Better balance and co-ordination

•  Personal training to suit individual ability

•  Stronger muscles

•  Exercising of micro-muscles

•  More effective exercising

•  Improved posture

•  Stimulation of tissues

•  Increased calorie burning

MEDICAL INDICATIONS

• 

Defective posture resulting from injury: 

Build up your strength and improve your posture.

• 

Back pains, various causes:

 Improves pain alleviation through muscle relaxation and stretching 

exercises and co-ordination.

• 

Muscle strain, various causes:

 Improves muscle performance.

• 

Scoliosis:

 Improves stability of spine.

• 

Excessive muscle tension:

 Reduces tension in the muscles.

• 

Disc prolapse, non-acute:

 Exercises local muscular system.

•

  Osteoporosis if not acute and no risk of thrombosis: 

Increases bone strength.

• 

Joints: 

Strengthens joints and improves mobility.

• 

Arthritis:

 Increases cartilage formation and promotes production of synovial fluid.

• 

Parkinson’s disease:

 Improves co-ordination and posture. (More information can be found under 

Parkinson).

• 

Multiple sclerosis:

 Improves posture and increases muscle function, controls muscle tension.

(More information can be found under multiple sclerosis).

• 

Drop foot syndrome: 

Example, disc prolapse (increases muscle performance and improves mo-

tor control).
