Bodyblade® Testimonials

Athletes

I have been using the Bodyblade for over five years now and I wouldn't be in the situation I am in now if it weren't for the Bodyblade. As a professional athlete playing over a 150 games a year its very easy for body parts to break down. The Bodyblade has helped keep my shoulder in good enough shape that I haven't missed a day from a shoulder injury since I started working with the Bodyblade. I can honestly say that without this piece of equipment that I only have to use two/three times a week for five minutes that I might not still be pitching. Thank you Bodyblade.

I did use the blade quite a bit prior to the 2004 Games. I was having a lot of shoulder problems leading up to the Olympics. The Bodyblade was a large part of my rehab - it truly made a difference in keeping my shoulders in tact, not to mention gave my entire body a workout at the same time! Awesome product!

– Rebecca Giddens, Silver Medalist


I thought driving my Indycar was the best way to train my driving muscles. But my trainer, Jim Leo, started me using the Bodyblade, and I for the first time felt the same fatigue as driving the car. The nice thing is that I now train the same muscles without having to drive 225 mph. Good stuff.

– Sam Hornish Jr., Team Penske, 2001 and 2002 Indycar Champion


Being a spinal cord injured person the Bodyblade has allowed me to strengthen, condition and improve my overall stability. Bodyblade has helped me to function at highest level.

Physical Therapy Professionals

I have found Bodyblade to be a very versatile and valuable tool for evaluation and treatment of strength, coordination, and proprioception problems throughout the body. It is the most innovative and practical rehabilitative device I have seen in years.

– Elizabeth R. Ikeda, M.S. PT. O.C.S., The University of Montana, P.T. Dept.


I wanted to let you know how valuable we have found Bodyblade to be in the rehabilitation of our patients. We use it with the pre and post-op shoulders, knees and low backs. Its uses are only limited by the Therapist's imagination. My staff and my patients thank you.

I met you guys at the private practice annual conference in DC. I was having trouble with right piriformis restrictions and pain. I was unable to fully cross my legs. I played with the Bodyblade® at your booth, ran to my next session and was amazed when I sat down and could cross my right leg with full range of motion and no pulling on my piriformis. Why? Is it increased core control? Was my piriformis having to stabilize and make up for my weak core? I bought a course pack and have used the Bodyblade with everyone. I stand amazed. ”

 Sports Training and Rehabilitation

The Bodyblade® is a very important tool in the Chicago White Sox conditioning program. Our athletes use the Bodyblade for throwing specific conditioning and for core stability training. The Bodyblade has been very beneficial as it enables full range of motion while imitating a throwing pattern and developing shoulder strength. We have found that we can integrate the Bodyblade with other tools to improve balance and proprioception while targeting a specific kinetic movement or muscle group. Our pitchers use the Bodyblade as part of their warm-up routine prior to competition and include it in their cool downs post competition. ”

– Steve Odgers, Director of Conditioning, Chicago White Sox


Bodyblade® is fantastic in every way. Had the opportunity to meet Bruce Hymanson last year-talked to him about pursuing Golf market, he was one of the nicest men I have ever met.

– Mark Spinelli, Golf Instructor


By having the athlete move the Bodyblade® to create the oscillations that fire the muscle or vice versa, we get a very similar, if not better, result to that of the manual resistance. I have seen some of the other devices that claim to perform a like function, but I still prefer the ease of use, patient feedback and results that I have experienced with the Bodyblade. We here with the Padres have many pieces of equipment that we can use to condition and rehab our athletes. The Bodyblade is one of those and will continue to be one as long as I am here. ”

I have been a golf professional for more than 20 years and have spent the better part of my life in reasonable shape. In 2004 I hurt my back and laid in bed for almost 4 months. Herniations in l3,l4, l5, had me laid out and in great pain. I lost 20 pounds and looked like I was going to die. Many things happened to me on my way back to health. Aaron Mattes  (active isolated stretching) , Stewart McGill (back fitness Doctor and the Bodyblade (Bruce Hymanson). These people and their knowledge of the body and how it functions have motivated me in ways a 49 year old wouldn't expect. The Bodyblade and my imagination in its use has changed my body in tone and shape and should be in everyone's workout regimen. Propreoceptively speaking, the Bodyblade has few rivals and when you use it on unstable surfaces you will be totally challenged. I believe this is the tipping point for this product and expect the blade to be one of the most important training tools in sports training.

I've been using the Bodyblade for about three months. In this time I've been able to lose over 40 lbs using it and sticking to a low fat diet. Over 6 inches in my waist alone. Now its helping me to tone up. Thanks for the help.

– Neal C.


I just wanted to thank you for making such a great product. It is the only exercise "program" I have ever stuck with. In less than 10 minutes per day I'm able to maintain healthy muscle tone and have lost 30 pounds during the year. Thanks again!
