SHENA

An ancient tool for the most ancient of all exercises

The Shena is used as a symmetrical stable platform to do push-ups on. It enables a greater variety of push-ups, is gentle on the wrists and enforces correct joint alignment during dynamic body-weight movements.

The Shena shifts the centre of mass superiorly, enabling leveraging of the body-weight, making the push-ups more challenging and allows you to do push-ups on any surface.

Push-ups - The greatest of all exercises

Push-ups confers not only physical benefits but also the profoundly empowering feeling to be able to push oneself off the ground and stand tall as a man.

Experience the greatest excitement in restoring natural alignment and develop real functional multi-planar strength, endurance and mobility.

Shena means swimming in Persian, envisage fluid, circular, wave-like motions.

The Pahlavani Shena board is the granddaddy of them all.

Simple and powerful

The Shena encourages external rotation of the arm at the shoulder joint when doing push-ups, i.e. it enforces correct posture and technique every-time reducing the stress on the glenohumeral joint.

Compared to Western push-ups where the hand position is often perpendicular to the floor and directly under the shoulders, the Shena enables a more natural wrist alignment and enables a greater range of motion where the hands can travel below the 12th rib during the push-up.
