Many who suffer back, shoulder and knee pain find improved balance and strength and subsequent pain relief through SUP’s rehabilitative qualities.

According to SUP NTX "By using your body's natural balance as a stabilizer, stand up paddling only requires as much exertion as are able to put forth. And the water is a very forgiving surface, so you don't run the risk of re-injury like you possibly would by rehabbing on solid ground."
