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

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.

My physical therapist has this and I loved it, so bought one for myself. It is fun to use for balance - yes, fun. It feels like a bouncy toy kids use but it helps my balance.

I’ve been using this brand of balance pad at physical therapy and wanted one to keep up my pt at home. It is great. Good thickness and a quality item.

Seems very sturdy and lasting, I was disappointed that there were NO instructions included of any kind as to how to improve balance. I wonder why?

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!

Just like the one I used in PT.

Very pleased, good quality. Nice and firm for my husband's therapy. I highly recommend.

Sometimes you are barefoot and don’t want to walk on your treadmill desk. Standing at a desk all day can be hell on your knees and feet. There’s a solution to this.Thank God for Mark and Frank telling me about this amazing lime green Airex Balance Pad Elite.Airex Balance Pad is Elite when it has this pattern on it.I don’t know if the $30 difference in price is worth it but I got a factory reject for the same price as the regular one.There are also lots of $12 knockoffs that I’m sure are just as good. I’m a brand whore. It’s really just a packaged rectangle of wrestling or gymnastics mat you’ll find in a high school or college gymnasium.When I’m not using it (actually using the treadmill desk for walking while working), it tucks away against the wall beside the tread.Perfect.And who doesn’t love a splash of lime green, am I right?As you can see, the pad is very thick and very light and while it’s supposed to be used in a similar fashion as the Bosu, my buddies Mark and Frank use it for extended standing like 8+ hour days at the standing desk cum LifeSpan treadmill desk.The Airex Balance Pad Elite pad is very thick and very light and while it’s supposed to be used in a similar fashion as the Bosu, my buddy Mark and Frank use it for extended standing like 8+ hour days at the standing desk cum LifeSpan treadmill desk. The price new is expensive but I was able to find an Amazon Warehouse discount of $30 for one that was perfect but the box was messed up some. Was worth it to me.
