In episode 17 of the KIPS Podcast, we meet Bruce Hymanson, the owner and developer of Bodyblade®. Bruce is a physical therapist and educator by trade, but he developed the Bodyblade® roughly 30 years ago through his innovative approach to movement. Throughout this episode, Bruce shares his approach to patient rehabilitation and his journey in creating the Bodyblade®.
The Bodyblade® pioneered vibration and inertia training in 1991. Its patented design addresses the spine’s deep dynamic stabilizers, providing a stable platform for rehabilitation, sports performance training, fitness enhancement, and personal training regimens. This results in improved wellness, function, and muscle definition.
Bruce received his Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education in 1973 and his Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy in 1977 from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota.
What is the Bodyblade?
The Bodyblade® is an innovative fitness tool designed to enhance strength, stability, and coordination through dynamic resistance training. It consists of a flexible, oscillating blade that requires users to engage multiple muscle groups while performing various movements. As the blade is moved back and forth, it creates a unique challenge that promotes muscle recruitment and improves core stability. The Bodyblade is particularly effective for rehabilitation, balance training, and sports-specific conditioning. Its versatility makes it suitable for athletes across different disciplines, enhancing performance and reducing the risk of injuries. Overall, the Bodyblade is a valuable addition to any fitness regimen.

Tyler, Hi
I have a BodyBlade and love it.
I just wanted to say you did just a great job with the presentation.
So often a host will continually interrupt the guest right in the middle of their sentence, I find it so rude.
You let Bruce share his vast knowledge and wisdom with your listeners. You did an excellent job. I’m following you and look forward to content.
