AIREX Balance Pad – Stability Trainer for Balance, Stretching, Physical Therapy, Exercise, Mobility, Rehabilitation and Core Training Non-Slip Closed Cell Foam Premium Balance Pad

This is the highest quality balance pad. It lasts longer with consistent use and is more challenging for someone attempting to balance on it than other cushions I have purchased.

Last year I was suffering from vertigo due to vestibular hypofunction. I had about a half dozen physical therapy sessions and this pad does a lot of what I needed. Perfect for at home use.I did a lot of searching. There are some cheaper (and smaller) options but this is the brand that my clinic used and based on reviews seemed more durable. I like the bigger size in order to position feet in different ways.The main exercise that I need to do on the pad is to stand with feet together and eyes closed to isolate the vestibular contribution to balance. My physical therapist said that there are 3 elements to balance: touch (ex. feet), eyesight, and the inner ears (vestibulas). Using the pad, especially barefoot, takes away the sense of touch and keeping eyes closed takes the vision part out of the equation, leaving really just the inner ear. Keeping feet next to each other then try to stand still for 30 seconds. I place the pad in the corner so that I can just lean back if I'm feeling at all "wobbly". With time, I advanced to moving arms, shifting a foot forward 6 inches, using dumbbells, moving head around slowly, and increasing time.A year later and between the PT and the at home exercises, the problem seems to be largely solved but I still try to do the exercises periodically to keep it from coming back.Given that it is the same as what clinics use heavily, I'm not surprised that it has held up well. No sign of material breakdown, unlike review complaints about some cheaper options. I figure this will be in the corner of my entertainment room for years to come. I can stand in the corner and listen to the TV while doing my exercises.Mine is blue but the picture shows the pad in a pillow case. Makes it a little less visually obtrusive and easier to clean. Mine is about 20x16 and I recommend this size which makes it easier to position the feet in different ways to provide variety in the exercises.Glad that I got it and even more glad that the vertigo episodes are gone!

I used one of these at physical therapy in the past. I was delighted to find the same one on Amazon. I use it for testing and working on my balance. I have also used it for some other exercises as well. It is very well constructed and I am sure it will last.

Pad is nice a firm yet cushiony so it isn’t uncomfortable for the bottom of my feet, but sturdy enough to stand on, but it also has enough give to where it makes you work to balance (which is part of its purpose, to improve balance).Only concern is that it seems to be leaving what appears to be permanent indentions after use, so that concerns me about the longevity and durability of the product as well; guess time will tell🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

This is the brand they use in hospitals and inpatient rehab centers— as I learned from personal experience. Very well made and worth the extra cost.

My physical therapist suggested I use this product during my sessions after I fell and broke a bone in my ankle and in my foot. I was very happy to find it sold on Amazon! My husband and I are working on balance, and this is great for that. It's much safer than a Bosu ball in our opinions.

Balance pad was exactly as described and what I need for continuing my PT at home. Same one that my PT has.

Found out about this product at physical therapy. I just love it. Versatile for all sorts of exercise and handy kneeling pad for around the house.
