5 Shuttle Balance Protocols
We used to "shoot the duck" when we were kids at the local roller skating rink. Roller skates on the Balance, hmmm.... now, that's something we'd like to see!
SINGLE LEG STABILITY WITH BAND - BROADWAY PTAs if doing planks on the Shuttle Balance wasn't hard enough, we thought Joe Paterno, co-owner of Broadway PT, could use a little perturbation..... or, what we like to call "abuse" therapy.
Planks. Your welcome!
FOUR CORNERS - SPORT REHABCasey has just started a new blog for SPort Rehab where he will be creating some exercise videos for the Shuttle Balance - the first being his Four Corners. Congrats Casey, and we look forward to learning from a Balance Guru!
In addition to being a full-time athletic trainer, Casey is also a part-time beer connoisseur. You can connect with him on his Facebook or Twitter.
While athletes will rarely meet an unstable surface such as the Balance in their games, their increased proprioceptive ability developed from these protocols will serve to improve their game day performance.
