The Oov is a new and innovative way to work on core strength, and will revolutionise the way we train. Oov creator and physiotherapist Daniel Vladeta is in Hong Kong until the 10th March, introducing the Oov to the fitness and rehabilitation market, as well as conducting workshops and interview.
This product works by activating the user’s core stabilising muscles while also gently extending the spine to stimulate healthy intervertebral disc lubrication. This active response in the user helps achieve ‘neutral spine’, a widely used concept in the treatment and assessment of spinal conditions.
From stretching to core strengthening to rehabilitation or for relaxation purposes, the Oov can be utilised with significant benefits for spinal health. The Oov can be readily applied in the fields of fitness, yoga, pilates, physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractics, even massage and stress relief. Specific exercises and stretches have already been developed with the help of medical practitioners and trainers to address different body types, patterns and ailments.
What makes the Oov so unique is that the whole time you are using it, you are that it subconsciously focusing on your core, leading to an improvement in your strength and performance in daily activities whether it is high performance sport or sitting in your office chair!
The concept was borne out of a need to improve on the ‘rolled towel’ that is widely used by medical practitioners to stretch out the back in order to aid its recovery. And so after years of research and development a natural geometric progression was discovered that allowed Daniel to design the Oov.

Daniel will be conducting an Oov Fundamentals Course on the 4/5 March at Iso Fit. He will also be available for interviews on the 7/8 March. Media are encouraged to come along and have a go!

About Daniel Vladeta
After completing a BSc in Anatomy and Physiology, Daniel continued Post Graduate studies in Neuroscience, Molecular Biology and Osteopathy. In private practice, he continued his studies with Myofascial and Cranial Sacral Techniques.
Daniels interest was in how compensatory patterns translate to physiological and functional change, and looked at ways treatment and rehabilitative exercise could be used to address these.
In the late 90’s, Daniel began work with a Spinal and Orthopaedic Company, that lead to him working around the world with top surgeons, and the development of Surgical Devices.
His return to Australia lead him to commence development of a device that acted as a bio-feedback or self regulating device, that acted as an unstable base, to be used in both Rehabilitation and Functional Exercise. The Oov was launched.
Daniel now works with leading practitioners collaborating on Rehab and Exercise prescription, and delivers workshops to Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Exercise Physiologists, Pilates instructors and Personal Trainers around the world.
He has worked with elite and professional athletes in all sports, including Tennis, Golf, Rugby, AFL, Swimming and Athletics.
