The Mobile Board: Enhancing Strength, Balance, and Coordination for Runners

The Mobile Board, a new product designed by physical therapist and running expert Jay Descherry, is a game-changer for runners, coaches, and trainers looking to improve their strength, balance, coordination, and overall abilities. The board focuses on foot control and helps athletes shift load over the first metatarsal and drive down with the big toe, promoting proper foot mechanics and stability during running and other athletic movements. With its unique design, the board allows for individualized assessment and training while providing a stable surface for exercises. It can be used for rehabilitating ankle sprains, optimizing squat mechanics, and even adding load for more advanced athletes. By incorporating the Mobile Board into training routines, athletes can enhance their performance and reduce the risk of injuries.
