Appearance and Maintenance

BackApp 360 Balance Board is a type of wobble board that offers versatility in movement and ease of tilt adjustment to users. The balance board has a crude design which is not as aesthetically pleasing as the other types of balance boards available in the market today. It is available in two solid colors: light grey and dark grey. The upper surface of the plank is a bit hard which may put a strain on the feet while standing. An anti-fatigue mat could be used on top of the board to counter the fatigue. The plank has two handles on each side which allow it to be carried around easily. The balance board can also be hanged to a wall using theses handles for storage purposes. The balance board is easy to use and clean. The amount of tilt can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the red knob underneath. However, caution has to be taken so as not to loosen the red knob too much which might cause it to stop working. The troubleshooting for various problems that users might run into during the board’s usage is described in the user guide provided with the balance board.

Benefits of the BackApp 360 Balance Board

The BackApp 360 Balance Board offers a number of benefits to its users through its various features and functionality. Not only is it easy to use but it is also easy to adjust to achieve a different tilt position according to user’s preferences. It comprises a simple and crude design in which a ring damping device serves as the fulcrum on which the board balances. Unlike most of the balance boards available in the market that allow movement in only one direction, the BackApp 360 balance board provides omnidirectional movement and balancing options. Users can adjust the tilt very easily by loosening or tightening a knob. Whenever they want to change the tilt, they just have to flip over the board, loosen or tighten the knob, and start using it again with the new tilt settings. The swaying and rocking motion of the balance board helps in improving the user’s blood circulation. It also helps strengthen the core muscles and joints, improves posture, and incorporates physical activity into an otherwise static routine.
