When Movement Becomes a Challenge

Knee osteoarthritis can make simple movements—like climbing stairs or standing up—painful and exhausting. Doctors and physiotherapists recommend strengthening exercises to support the joint. Yet traditional rehab routines can feel repetitive and boring, making it hard to stay consistent.

That’s where the GIBOARD comes in. It might look simple, but it trains exactly what people with knee issues need most: joint stability, muscle strength, and proprioception—the body’s ability to sense its position in space.

1. Gentle on the Joints

Unlike high-impact exercises, the GIBOARD uses soft, controlled micro-movements. These reduce pressure on the knees while activating surrounding muscles—ideal for people with osteoarthritis or post-surgery recovery.

2. Strengthening the Supporting Muscles

Every small movement challenges the thighs, glutes, and hips. The stronger these muscles are, the less strain your joints carry—and the less pain you feel day to day.

3. Improving Balance and Proprioception

Osteoarthritis often affects body awareness. Balancing on the GIBOARD continuously engages proprioception, improving stability, confidence, and reducing fall risk.

4. Motivation Meets Holistic Training

The hardest part of rehab is staying motivated. The GIBOARD’s design keeps it visible and inviting, reminding you to move.

At the same time, it trains muscles, coordination, and focus—creating a comprehensive tool for long-term wellbeing.

5. Extra Motivation with the Free Gibbon App

In the Gibbon App, physiotherapists and movement coaches guide you through short, effective sessions that target flexibility, balance, and stability—keeping your training varied and inspiring.

Movement is medicine—but only when it’s gentle, consistent, and fun.
