Stern Therapy offers top-tier professional expertise and an array of tools to help everyone achieve their goals or recover. In this article, we are going on a joy ride, exploring some of those incredibly useful physical therapy tools that specifically target the legs.

The Miracle of Foam Rollers

Every physical therapist’s toolbox definitely includes a foam roller. After all, it is a versatile piece that can help you increase mobility and flexibility in your legs. Aside from smoothing out knots, you can call it your own personal masseuse whenever your legs feel achy after a vigorous workout or a long day at work. With Stern Therapy, the foam roller experience is elevated, making it more than just a foam rolling session. It’s a journey to better mobility, comfort, and stronger legs.

Resistance Bands: Your Pocket-sized Gym

Compact, easy to use, and highly effective, resistance bands are true superheroes in the physical therapy world. They are excellent for improving muscle strength, enhancing flexibility, and can be used anywhere—on the field, in your home, at the office. Our experts at Stern Therapy know well how to leverage these tools to strengthen your legs and get you back on your fitness track faster.

Balance Boards: Because Stability Matters

Balance boards are often overlooked, but their importance in physical therapy is unquestionable. Strengthening your leg muscles, improving your balance and stability, and enhancing your range of motion are just a few of its benefits. At Stern Therapy, we have created a perfect balance (pun intended!) between the use of balance boards and other therapies for complete and effective treatment.
