What Makes the ProBar Unique: In the ring, on the field, green or court, or throughout everyday life, ProBar training will help you move and feel better. Whether during rehab or in sports performance training, exercises that promote reflexive stability and motor control have proven health benefits; enabling our bodies to move safely and efficiently without much conscious thought. The ProBar system facilitates reflexive and authentic motor control of the body. The tool’s unique design actually creates conditions for the body to learn kinesthetically such that we learn just by doing the movements. It is also quite versatile, in that it can be configured three different ways, uses two different principles of resistance and is highly portable. Thanks to it’s unique design, the ProBar can be used for several exercises that would traditionally employ dowels/pvc pipes, resistance bands, Indian clubs and even dumbbells. The resistance created by the Twist & Pull mechanism creates co-contraction of the body’s stabilizing muscles, promoting safer movement and increasing the range of motion in our joints. Training with the ProBar specifically makes the muscles of the shoulder girdle more neurologically active and physically stronger. Using the leverage principle, the ProBar can be used as a weighted wand; creating rotational torque while training in the transverse plane. This modality automatically engages the rotary muscles of the arm and upper trunk. Training in this fashion is vital for the arm to be successful in open kinetic chain activities, especially under speed or load. As the transverse plane is where rotation takes place, the ProBar is excellent for training the skills used in swing sports and for strengthening the rotational muscles of the body.
