Injuries to joints, muscles, or ligaments often lead to instability. Slackline training restores joint stability, improves neuromuscular control, and supports optimal rehabilitation.

GERIATRICS
Falls are a major cause of loss of independence in older adults.
Slackline Therapy improves balance, reaction time, and joint stability - effectively reducing fall risk.
COMPETITIVE SPORTS
Coordination and stability are crucial for peak performance.
Slackline training enhances athletic ability.
NEUROLOGY
The dynamic movement of the slackline regulates muscle tone:
Spastic muscles relax, weak muscles activate - ideal for neurological rehabilitation.
PEDIATRICS
Many children lack body awareness and develop postural issues early. Slackline Therapy introduces movement, coordination, and balance in a playful way.

FAQ
When should I use one line and when should I use two lines? When should I use one line and when should I use two lines?
One line is less stable and is suitable for advanced patients and more demanding coordination, stability and proprioception training. Two lines provide greater safety and control and are particularly suitable for beginners, neurological or older patients, young children up to approximately five years of age and early rehabilitation. Two lines also provide gentle, comfortable movement when the board is used at a standing desk. As a general rule, fewer lines make the training more challenging.
How do I set up the SlackBoard? How do I set up the SlackBoard?
Place the SlackBoard on a level, firm and non-slip surface. Install and tension the line using the designated Lock & Roll system and tension stick, following the supplied manual precisely. Before every use, check that the line, all connections and the cork pads are correctly positioned. A preassembled board is ready to use immediately.
What should I do if the line is loose? What should I do if the line is loose?
Do not use the SlackBoard while the line is loose. Retension it with the designated tension stick according to the manual and check the attachment system. A suitable tension clip can provide additional protection against unintended loosening or slipping. Do not continue using a line that shows visible damage.
Which patients can use the board? Which patients can use the board?
The SlackBoard is generally suitable for people who can fully bear weight on their lower limbs and want to improve balance, stability or coordination. Typical applications include orthopaedic, neurological, geriatric and paediatric rehabilitation, sports physiotherapy and prevention. Using one or two lines allows the difficulty to be adapted to the individual. A qualified therapist should select the exercises, especially after an injury or operation or in the presence of a neurological condition.
Where can I find therapeutic exercises? Where can I find therapeutic exercises?
Exercises, videos and training programmes are available through the QR code on the board and in the free GIBBON Balance App. GIBBON also provides digital exercise cards with different difficulty levels and safety information. Therapeutic exercises should be selected according to the patient’s diagnosis and stage of rehabilitation.
