P&BEXC Wooden Balance Board for Balance Training and Keep Healthy Core Strength,Balancing Board Under Desk,Anti-Slip Roller Board,Satablility and Portable Wobble Boards for Office/Home

My husband is recovering from a stroke that's impaired his balance. His physical therapist has him using a professional balance device that's basically a board attached to a squishy rubber ball. He's supposed to try to balance and/or shift his weight from side to side or front to back and needed the proper equipment to practice at home. The device the therapy practice uses is available on Amazon, but it costs over $170 dollars. This version isn't quite as good, because it doesn't demand 180 degrees of balance the way the squishy ball support does, but it does work very well for the main directions. It can be used either for side-to-side or front-to-back balance. It's proving to be quite sturdy. It's very reasonably priced. We even popped it in the car and took it on vacation with us so he was able to continue doing therapy while we were away from home. It's proving to be a very useful purchase, and I recommend it as a cost-effective at-home substitute for the much more expensive professional grade equipment.It comes fully assembled (which was great because all we had to do was take it out of the box) and includes two extra non-slip adhesive strips that I guess are meant to replace the ones under the rockers if they ever wear out. I don't think we'll need them for a long time because the device is sturdy, but they're a nice extra.

I use this balance board for hours a day while at my standing desk. The balance board keeps my body "moving" while staying in one place. It's more comfortable for me than standing still or sitting for hours on end at my computer, and I get a great work out while I'm working.The board itself is sturdy. It's not too easy or too hard to balance. The bottom and top have slip-proof surfaces for safety and they are effective. The top slip-proof surface feels gritty like sandpaper, so it's best to wear shoes.The videos I've seen demonstrate balancing side-to-side. You can also balance front-to-back, but be careful to stand in the middle of the board when doing so, because the round supports on the underside do not go to the edge so it can tip to the side when you have only one foot on the board, such as when you get on and off it.Overall, it's a really good product, and a wonderful tool to use while standing at a tall desk.

A standard component of knee therapy is practicing balance. My husband and I have both had knee replacement surgery, and our therapists particularly recommended this balance board for practicing at home. Wood floors are great, tile not so much. We used a large piece of plywood on carpet surface. This is a sturdy and high quality wooden board--highly recommend it.

Helps w balance.

This board is of high-quality material. They were even kind enough to send extra tape that you use on the bottom of the board to keep it from slipping on slick surfaces. They thought of everything, so happy I bought this board over others I saw listed. VERY happy with my purchase, money well spent. Others might need a larger size board, but this one is simply perfect for my needs.
