Teeter Board: Enhancing Balance, Coordination, and Core Strength

The Teeter Board is a valuable tool for enhancing balance, coordination, and core strength in individuals of all ages.

• Balance and Coordination:

  • Postural Control: Maintaining balance on the teeter board requires constant adjustments to maintain upright posture and prevent falls, significantly enhancing postural control.
  • Dynamic Balance: The shifting weight and movement of the board challenge dynamic balance and require rapid adjustments to maintain stability.
  • Coordination: Coordinating movements of the legs, arms, and core with the movement of the board enhances coordination and motor planning.

• Proprioception:

  • Body Awareness: The constant shifting of weight on the teeter board enhances proprioception, which is the sense of body position and movement in space.
  • Sensory Integration: Navigating the movement of the teeter board integrates sensory information from various sources, including vision, proprioception, and vestibular input, enhancing sensory integration.

• Core Strength:

  • Core Engagement: Maintaining balance and controlling movement on the teeter board requires significant engagement of core muscles, including abdominal and back muscles.

• Gross Motor Skills:

  • Leg Strength: Moving and balancing on the teeter board strengthens leg muscles and improves lower extremity strength.
