The T-BOW® is ergonomically shaped to support and respect the spine’s natural anatomical lumbar lordosis, offering a unique combination of mobilization, strengthening, and therapeutic spinal support.
When lying backward on the T-BOW®, the spine is prevented from collapsing or sinking, allowing partially restricted vertebral segments to receive gentle, targeted mobilizing pressure. This promotes the restoration and maintenance of a healthy anatomical lumbar curve while enhancing spinal awareness and alignment.
At the same time, the T-BOW® enables effective strengthening of the abdominal musculature while preserving a stable lumbar lordosis. Unlike flat surfaces, it allows for a greater range of motion, encouraging functional core activation without compromising spinal integrity.
The design of the T-BOW® also supports therapeutic segmental strengthening, enabling the controlled lifting and activation of individual vertebrae in sections. This can be performed in prone, side-lying, or supine positions, making it a versatile tool for both rehabilitation and advanced training.
By combining stability with controlled instability, the T-BOW® acts as a facilitator for increasing spinal mobility within healthy limits. It encourages fluid movement, improves segmental control, and supports long-term spinal health by integrating strength, mobility, and postural awareness into every exercise.
The T-BOW® features an arch specifically adapted to the spine’s natural anatomical lumbar lordosis (a typical 40-50 degree curve), with the T-BOW® arch precisely set between 40 and 45 degrees.
Lying backwards on the T-BOW® prevents the spine from sinking and partially blocked vertebrae receive mobilizing pressure to promote anatomical lumbar lordosis.
The typical thoracic kyphosis in healthy adults ranges between 20-40 degrees. Notably, the T-BOW®’s arch is set at 40-45 degrees, which facilitates back extension at the thoracic level. This movement aims to transition from kyphosis toward lordosis, without exceeding the 40-45-degree limit of the T-BOW®, providing both reactivity and stability.
