Synopsis

The material in this collection is designed to meet the needs of medical and fitness professionals who work with the strength needs of patients and clients. It is a compilation of exercise ideas and options for training the vestibular and somatosensory system that contribute to balance and stability. Therapists and trianers often have limited resources - either working with a minimum of gym equiment or in people's homes. Creativity becomes more important under these circumstances. When a client's unique needs or interests challenge the repertorire of a therapist or trainer, he/she is compelled to search for exercise options. This collection was designed and should be used to find ways to get the same result with a variety of methods. The book is divided into five major sections: Lying/Kneeling, Sitting, Two-Leg Stability, One-Leg Stability and Active/Mobile Stability. This book contains a wide variety of Balance Stability Exercises which include: Foam Roller, Rocker Board, Tubing, Therapeutic Ball, Balance Board, Medicine ball, Barbell, Aquatic, Tilt Board and much more...
