We received Life Boards for testing as a foot reflexology teaching center. We tested these specific “foot massagers” for several weeks.

What conclusions can be drawn from these observations?

In our opinion, the Boards of Life use the same mechanisms of impact on the human body as foot reflexology massage, i.e. they stimulate the sensory nerve endings in the skin of the foot and thus activate the reflex arc in the nervous system, after which the stimuli reach the nerve centers and then to the so-called effectors – muscles, fascia, endocrine glands and other internal organs, which results in the regulation of their functions. And to put it simply, in everyday language – we achieve obvious psychophysical relaxation of the entire body.

However, standing (and above all maintaining a standing position) on boards with nails is not easy, especially for people with a lowered pain threshold. Standing even a few minutes standing on nails will be a big challenge for many people.

And here comes another advantage of the Boards… they are an excellent trainer of our strong will and body self-awareness.

Focusing on the sensations flowing from the feet during this type of training is an effective tool for penetrating deep within oneself and overcoming one’s own weaknesses.

We also observed typical physical effects of standing on the Planks: deep relaxation, improved concentration, less irritation and more energy during the day, and deeper sleep.
