NeoPhysio IFT Tool Set
NeoPhysio IFT Tool Set are composed of NeoPhysio Sling, Ball, Roll, Balance Board and Balance Mat.
NeoPhysio Sling ( Physio- / Dynamic Sling )
After the 2nd world war, the polymyelitis swept through all of Europe and many paralysis patients were occurred. The suspension device ( Sling ) used for rehabilitative treatment of paralysis patients. Because it provided a gravity free environment as if it were in the water and helped Physiotherapist.
Recently, many people are interested in the Sling because it can control the application of the load and the degree of difficulty of exercise effectively. and it is useful for stretching, muscle strengthening, stability, and aerobics.
I created a new kind of Sling according to the IFT concept.
If we want to perform an effective integrated functional training, we need to create an unstable but controllable environment for proprioceptive exercise and sensory motor training.
The traditional sling that has multiple fixed suspension points is an effective device for the treatment of paralysis patients. However, there are many disadvantages when we use it as functional training equipment. Multiple fixed suspension points decrease the instability and proprioception and produce multiple kinesthetic Networks that fights and resists each other within our body. It causes severe imbalance and decrease the effectiveness of active exercise.
NeoPhysio-Sling (Dynamic Sling) have only one fixed suspension point and it creates one kinesthetic network ( motor-axis ) within our body. It allows us free but stable movement without resistance. In addition, the Physio-Sling has a central balance axle that creates more unstable, proprioceptively challenging environment. It especially enhances the balance and the interaction between the body parts and integrates many body parts simultaneously.
One fixed point and central balance axle of the NeoPhysio Sling creates an unstable but controllable environment. It enhances the formation of variable functional kinesthetic network and improves coordination, integration and harmony of multiple body segments and multiple kinesthetic networks.
NeoPhysio Sling has shown the way to integrate OKCE and CKCE. The integration of OKCE and CKCE was a long-cherished desire of all kinesiologist and became buzzword of 21st century.
Although it has one fixed point, it is not only easy and convenient to use but also very safe and stable. This unstable but controllable environment by NeoPhysio Sling maximizes the effectiveness of exercise. So by using the NeoPhysio Sling we can expect the epochal recovery or improvement of pragmatic function that is the ultimate goal of exercise and rehabilitation .
NeoPhysio Ball ( Physo-Ball )
Since 1960, we have been using a Gym ball exercise as one method of rehabilitation and treatment.
NeoPhysio Ball has different material, different shape and different function from the generic Gym Ball.
The generic gym ball is made of PVC, but the Neophysio Ball is made of Thermoplastic Polyurethane(TPU). The TPU is harmless to the human and the environment, so it is allergy free and safe for everyone, especially kids.
It has different shapes from the traditional gymball, because it is designed according to the latest integrated functional training concept, so there are various ball shapes (round, rugby or roll shaped). Each ball is dynamically different and has a different effect. The rugby shaped Neophysio Ball is more stable and sometimes more dynamic than a round ball. So we can apply to everyone according to his or her physical condition ( I.e. physical ability).
It has a special valve that allows us not only to put air in but to put water in or take water out. During exercise, the water movement in the ball gives us a different feeling and stimulation. Traditional ball gives us vestibular and somatosensory stimulation, but Neophysio Ball gives us not only vestibular stimulation but also visual, auditory and integrated sensory stimulation. It is more exciting and fun than a traditional ball exercise and It motivates kids to do everyday and dynamic exercises.
How to inflate the Neophysio Ball
1) unscrew the cap
2) inflate air using a hand or foot pump
3) If you want to put water in the Gymball, you should remove the valve. You can remove the valve easily by inserting your finger behind the valve and pushing it up. After removing the valve, pour water or put other things into the ball.
4) After that you should insert the valve. When inserting the valve back into its original position, you should fit the valve groove to the protuberance of the valve entrance and push it all the way down until it clicks.
5) If required, you can inflate more air into the air valve. Even an over inflated, Neophysio gymball is still stable and safe because Neophysio TPU Gymball is highly tensile. But it would be better to not to over inflate.
6) screw the cap back on.
Neophysio Roll
Neophysio Roll is also made of TPU. TPU is a very durable, harmless to the body and environment.
Neophysio Roll is multi-functional. We can use it as a integrated functional exercise equipment, roller for NeoPhysio Balance Board and back support. It is not only very dynamic and flexible but more safe and stable than a round gymball.
Neophysio Balance Board
( Air Balance Board / Physio-Borad ) )
The most useful feature of NeoPhysio Roll is that we can use it as a roller for a balance board.
The common roller for balance board is hard and the shape is fixed. It provides us only side-to-side, linear movement. It can't provide multi-dimensional movements.
However, NeoPhysio Roll is flexible and tensile. It provides a 3-dimensional movements and free range movements that is similar to real-life situation, I.e. surfing or snow boarding. We can sway balance board not only side to side but also up and down. Furthermore we can rock back and forth by using the front and back edges of the balance board. Maintaining the balance and moving by using the edge of the board is very important for snow boarding or surfing. We can practice how to use the edge under the safe and similar condition of a real-life situation. We can move and exercise freely on this roller.
If you want, you can fill it up with water. It has a special valve that removable when you want and you can pump a water into this hole. The water in the roller generate dynamic feeling and wave like sound.
Furthermore, you can provide a more dynamic movement by using differently shaped board plates. NeoPhysio Boards have various types of plate and each shape has a different dynamics.
These NeoPhysio Board and Neophysio Roll are designed according to the concept of integrated functional training. I believe it will be one of the most efficient equipments of functional training with Dynamic Sling.
Neophysio Balance Mat
NeoPhysio Balance Mat is made of TPU and tourmalin coated Spacer Fabric that is unique air product of Airbalance Co.LTD.
This special technology is using for many parts of industry, esp. air mattress.
This unique spacer fabric air mat provides us incredible tensile, comfortable and proprioceptive enriched environmen
These air products, Neophysio Ball and Roll are made by MANTOO Co.LTD. MANTOO has a long history of producing special air products and has a unique technologies in Spacer Fabric and TPU coating.
We guarantee the highest quality. It is harmless to the body if used properly and it will not burst if you pierce with sharp object. It can maintain high pressure after being pierced. But if you are a beginner, you had better to use a soft mat or an Neophysio Mat for safety.
If you have any questions or inquiries about Neophysio functional training Set, Neophysio Sling, Neophysio Ball, Neophysio Roll, NeoPhysio Balance Board, Neophysio Balance Mat or if you to purchase these Neophysio IFT Set, please contact us. ( www.physiomall.com )
