Whatever your ability, whatever your age – using CoolBoard for physiotherapy exercises can help you to overcome many injuries, new and old, as well as helping with many physical conditions such as multiple sclerosis or stroke recovery.
Effective Physio requires:
- Core strength
- Joint stabilisation
- Muscle Memory
- Proprioception
- STICKING TO YOUR REGIME
STICKING TO YOUR RAGIME is in capitals because many physios cite it as the most frequent reason physio fails, and it is also one of the best things about CoolBoard – it can make physio fun!
CoolBoard is also very good at the physical bits, core strength, joint stabilisation, muscle memory, and proprioception. Read on to find out more.
Effective Physiotherapy Exercises
Research has shown that rehabilitation and prehabilitation are reliant on having a strong core and joint stabilising muscles and tendons, as well as good balance and proprioception.
These are exactly the areas of fitness that CoolBoard excels at. Nothing else comes close due to our patent protected movement that makes CoolBoard the most effective instability trainer.
Used as a wobble board with one of our Balance Discs, CoolBoard gives all the advantage of a traditional wobble board or half-ball with two added benefits:
- adjustable in height and thus range of movement from 1° to 45°, enabling progression
- better stance and full foot support so it works your legs more effectively and aids confidence.
Progressing on the Ball, CoolBoard becomes the most effective core, joint, balance and proprioceptive trainer there is. CoolBoards unique movement offers more planes of movement than any other balance trainer which is what makes it so effective, and fun.
Beginners – on Disc
So easy to get started on, almost impossible to fall off of…
…and yet so fun and beneficial.

Make Physio Fun and Engaging
By being Fun and Engaging, CoolBoard will help you stick to your routine – one of the biggest problems faced by physiotherapists and their clients!
Just a few minutes a day can make all the difference. You’ll be using muscles you are not used to, so the trick is little and often. Aim to start with 5 minutes, once or twice a day, for 4 days a week, and increase from there.
Progress with CoolBoard
Being highly progressive CoolBoard use has helped rehabilitate and prehabilitate a wide range of people – Wheel chair users to Olympians, the elderly and stroke victims to weekend warriors.
We offer a range of boards, discs and balls. Start on an Easy Start Balance Disc, and progress to a Ball when you are ready. This enables our uses to tailor the movement of their CoolBoard to their needs, current and future.
Most people find one of our packages gives more than enough progression for their physical therapy, some people come back and get extra kit to really push their recovery goals or due to new injury.
Discs – Being inflatable, all discs are adjustable from 1 cm thick giving a few degrees of tilt to fully inflated giving up to 45° of tilt. Our different Disc sizes give different speeds of movement and thus ability and confidence, the bigger the more stable, the smaller the more nimble.
Balls – unique to CoolBoard, the only Balls to balance on. The Ball all Packages come with will probably be the only Ball you’ll ever need (Medium Size Standard Speed), and other Balls are available as accessories.
Boards – The Medium Board has a smaller ring on the underside which limits the movement for added security when on the Ball. The Large Board has a bigger ring for bigger movements and more fun. Board size makes little difference when on the Disc, the Large Board being just slightly larger.
Dormant Muscles
Injury can lead to dormant muscles. The body tries to protect itself after injury by shutting down certain muscles, and its difficult to get them firing again. CoolBoard has an ability to overcome this. The instability prompts the body to re-fire these muscles, re-balancing joints and the core.
