ProsourceFitWooden Balance Board Non-Slip Wobble Core Trainer 15.75in (39.5cm) Diameter with 360 Rotation for Stability Training, Full Body Exercises, Physical Therapy

After having ankle surgery with part of my ankle bone removed the physical therapist had me spend a minute or two on a plastic balance disk to build up strength in my ankle. I searched Amazon for one I could use at home. This one fit my needs perfectly. It's a bit lower to the ground than some other balance disks but it works well, is very sturdy, & met my needs as well as being an excellent way to gain balance skills. The most important thing to know is how to get on any type of balancing board or disk & you do that by locating it in a place where there is something you can hang onto to like a counter or fireplace if you need to. Tilt one side of the disk down to the floor while holding onto something so you don't fall and place one foot on the down side. Then place your other foot on the other side of the disk. This disk was thicker and sturdier than the plastic disks and a good value for the money. The base is slightly lower and is made of plastic so placing it on a hardwood floor makes it extremely slippery. I found buying an inexpensive small flat throw rug that doesn't slip on the floor and lays almost as flat as the floor provides a little more stability when first starting to use the disk. When that becomes easy then remove the small rug and work up your skills using it on a hardwood floor or cement floor where it is much more slippery and harder to keep your balance.

I bought this item in order to continue my physical therapy at home. It is a little higher up from the floor than the one I used at physical therapy so those exercises/motions are a little harder. I’m just having so much fun challenging myself. My therapist was excited when I said I bought a balance board but seemed concerned that I bought the round instead of square as the round is harder. I’m totally satisfied with my purchase regardless!

I consider this to be a great balance board. It is a little smaller in diameter that others, but it works perfectly for me. It is sturdy, has non-slide tape on the surface to help keep your feet from sliding. The height from the floor is not adjustable, but I do not find that to be an issue at all - works perfectly like it is.

I paid full price for a new item, but, as you can see in the pictures, the item I received is obviously well used. The bottom "ball" is very badly scratched up. The box it came in was gouged and torn, and heavily taped up at the top. Very disappointing. The item works ok despite the scratches and I just don't have the time to handle the return so I decided to keep it. But, I certainly can't recommend this item to others.

I was nervous as to if I could use it since I have a TBI and balance is really bad. Tried it next to the wall, and I do say this works well for me. Great deal, I'd by again!

Using this for physical therapy, and also to introduce young puppies to different playing surfaces. It seems like a great product, but I should have gotten a discount because there were scuffs on the top and obvious wear on the bottom.

I did some exercises i found on Runner's World website. Later decided to just stand on it while searching online for more exercises. Wow. Felt it work muscles all the way up to my NECK. This is going to be an everyday thing for me it rakes no time out of my day!

I've never really had an issue with my ankles being weak since I grew up figure skating, but after a severe ankle sprain in October I've struggled with the recovery. I use this each time I go to physical therapy and can feel how helpful it is, so I figured it was worth the purchase for daily use at home. It's great for working on general ankle strength and balance!
