What Can I Train with a Balance Board?
A balance board trains the entire body in terms of stability, coordination, and balance. Specifically, it works the fine deep muscles that strengthen the joints, many of which you may not even be aware exist. On the balance board, the whole body is active: countless muscles and muscle groups are activated while balancing, which are often neglected in the gym. Additionally, it trains all muscles in coordination rather than individually, resulting in a greater and more sustainable training effect.

What Types of Balance Boards Are There?
There are many different balance boards made from various materials and in diverse shapes. The MFT BALANCE BOARDS are made of wood, sometimes combined with other materials. We advise against plastic boards, as they may seem attractively cheap for beginners but quickly reach their limits. The MFT BALANCE BOARDS stand out for their high quality, made in Austria, and our in-house production allows for replacement or wear parts to be supplied as needed.

Benefits of a Balance Board
A balance board allows for weather-independent training, improves coordination, balance, body stability, posture, fitness, and body awareness. It trains not only individual muscles but the entire body in coordination. Furthermore, it takes up very little space and requires no additional equipment.
 
Is a Balance Board Good for Health?

From What Age Are MFT BALANCE BOARDS Suitable?
Most MFT BALANCE BOARDS are suitable for all age groups starting from four years old.
 
What is the Weight Capacity of MFT BALANCE BOARDS?
MFT BALANCE BOARDS can support up to 120 kg. Only the MFT FUN DISC has a capacity of 80 kg, and the MFT FUN DISC DIGITAL can support up to 100 kg, making them more suitable for children.
 
What is the Difference Between the MFT CHALLENGE DISC DIGITAL and the MFT FUN DISC DIGITAL?
The MFT CHALLENGE DISC DIGITAL is heavier and more stable because it has a base plate on which the patented tilting mechanism with the standing plate is mounted, while the MFT FUN DISC DIGITAL consists only of a standing plate with a half-round plastic shell on the bottom. Another significant difference is that the MFT CHALLENGE DISC DIGITAL comes with an app that includes all tests, training sessions, and games for single-leg and double-leg applications, while the MFT FUN DISC DIGITAL is only designed for double-leg exercises.
 
Can I Train on the Balance Board After a Knee Surgery?

Which Balance Board is Suitable for Seniors?
Most MFT BALANCE BOARDS are suitable for all age groups starting from four years old. If you want to approach training cautiously, the MFT CHALLENGE DISC and MFT CHALLENGE DISC DIGITAL are the recommended balance boards. A rehab foam ring can be inserted between the two plates to cushion movements and enhance stability.
 
Which Balance Board is Suitable for Children?
Most MFT BALANCE BOARDS are suitable for all age groups starting from four years old. The MFT FUN DISC is ideal as an entry-level model. It features a rubber hedgehog ball on the underside and two tilting mechanisms for forward-backward and side-to-side or diagonal tilting movements.
The MFT FUN DISC DIGITAL does not have tilting mechanisms and, instead of the rubber hedgehog, is equipped with a unique digital motion sensor, which comes with a free app for six different games, five training levels, and a balance test.
 
What is the MFT FREESTYLE BOARD?
The MFT FREESTYLE BOARD is also a balance board. Similar to a surfboard, snowboard, or skateboard, it has the advantage of being usable indoors, making it weather-independent. The freestyle board comes with a cork roller (cork from Portugal) on which you place the board. The roller moves, causing the board to move as well, requiring constant rebalancing. This provides countless opportunities for exercises and tricks tailored to each training level. Initially, the goal is to maintain balance. Once that is mastered — which happens relatively quickly — you can start trying out your first tricks. Are you interested?
 
Does the Balance Board Help with Weight Loss?
The small movements on the balance board engage numerous muscles, burning calories in the process. Combined with a healthy diet, it can also aid in weight loss.
 
Where Can I Find a Specialty Store?
In some well-stocked sporting goods stores or orthopedic supply stores, MFT BALANCE BOARDS may be available. You can also order confidently from our online shop. If, contrary to expectations, you do not get along with the balance board or have ordered the wrong one, you can return it free of charge within the 14-day return period.
 
Are There Spare Parts Available?
Yes, due to our in-house production in Austria, we can supply replacement or wear parts. Our MFT products meet the highest quality standards and are durable for many years.
