Basic Balancing

Thanks for coming back!  Here's our second video highlighting the Shuttle Balance.  My first video was a pretty advanced exercise, so I wanted to take a step back and do a more basic move.  This is our basic balance exercise.  It shows off how versatile the Shuttle Balance is.  The video shows our normal progression.  We will normally start with the patient in a bilateral stance.  We then progress to tandem and then to unilateral.  We usually add in throw/catch once they have mastered the unilateral balance.  For an extra bonus, you can add some sport specific exercises.  I showed volleying the soccer ball in the video.


One thing we love about the Shuttle Balance is that we can use it with all populations.  We've had children as young as 4 and adults up to 80+ on the Shuttle Balance. 

If you have any questions, please contact me at sportrehab@live.com.  Also check us out at www.sportrehabinc.com.  Follow me on twitter @KC_Robertson. 

Stay tuned for our next one.........

  1. We've never had anybody do the soccer volleying on the Shuttle Balance.... get the 90+ year olds on there and I'm sure that's all they want to do - that and the soccer headshots! :D
