Back pain is now one of the most common complaints worldwide – often caused by lack of movement, prolonged sitting, or weak core muscles. More and more physiotherapists are therefore relying on functional exercises that specifically activate the deep stabilizing muscles. And this is exactly where the Plankpad comes in.
Why? Because it perfectly combines core training, balance, and fun – motivating patients to stay consistent in the long term.
Core Strength: The Foundation of a Healthy Back
Most cases of back pain result from a weak or unstable core. When the abdominal and back muscles aren’t strong enough, the spine must compensate – often with painful consequences.
Planking strengthens exactly these key muscles – deeply, effectively, and gently on the joints. Physiotherapists especially value the Plankpad for its unstable surface, which requires constant micro-adjustments – effectively engaging the deep stabilizing muscles often missed in traditional exercises.
Dynamic Balance Training = More Effective Therapy
The special thing about the Plankpad: the integrated app reacts to every movement. Patients control interactive games by shifting their body weight – training balance, coordination, and muscle control all at once.
Instead of "another boring rehab workout," it suddenly becomes: “I want to beat my high score – and I’m training my back at the same time!”Especially in physiotherapy, this playful approach is a game changer. Motivated patients participate more consistently – and achieve faster, better results.
Why Plankpad Is Ideal for Rehab and Prevention
Physiotherapists recommend the Plankpad especially for:
- Chronic back pain
- Instability in the lumbar spine
- Postural problems (e.g. swayback or kyphosis)
- Rehabilitation after herniated discs (depending on severity)
- General prevention for office workers and people who sit a lot
Thanks to its low entry barrier, flexible training time, and real-time app feedback, the Plankpad is suitable for all ages and fitness levels – from rehab patients to prevention groups.
Conclusion: Plankpad Is More Than a Fitness Gadget
For many physiotherapists, the Plankpad has become a valuable part of modern back training programs. It combines clinical effectiveness with real motivation – exactly what matters most for long-term success.
If you suffer from back pain or want to take preventive action, the Plankpad is the perfect addition to physiotherapy, rehab training, or your own core routine.
