Balance plate exercises were originally used by physiotherapists to prevent and repair injuries, to improve ankle strength, to improve coordination, neuromuscular coordination, proprioception and equilibrium.
With the rapid spread of functional training and almost simultaneously, various balance platforms emerged which were initially resilient and a little later platforms that combined the rigidity of physiotherapeutic plates with those elastic ones.
It started with BO.S.U.™ (acronym of both of sides up), a balance tray that had the material of a fit ball in a hemisphere and the base of a non-slip rigid floor. He was also able to use both sides as exercise sides.
Over time, dozens of different products have emerged, some with elastic elements, others mimicking boards (sup, surfboards) or skateboards, and even elastic inflatable work benches that create instability during exercise.
