The Basic Airex Balance Foam Pad is a stability trainer designed for balance, stretching, exercise, physical therapy, mobility, rehabilitation and core strength training. This balance pad is non-slip and comes in blue.

Working with Airex pads improves stability and mobility by strengthening joints, ankles and knees as well as increasing flexibility and endurance.

Almost a year later, – still working great. Less expensive than a single physical therapy session.
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 20×16 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 what the physical therapist ordered.
My husband loves this cushion. Great size. Just the right thickness. Recommended by his therapist. I expect this cushion will last a long time. He recommends this.

Working good so farðð»
Pad is nice a firm yet cushiony so it isnât 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 tellð¤·ð»ââï¸ð¤·ð»ââï¸ð¤·ð»ââï¸

Firm enough for PT, balancing, kneeling pad in home
Love the sturdiness and the size. I use for PT homework, for a flat firm surface for stability for balance exercises, for a firm flat chair for sitting/standing exercise to rebuild knee, and for general use around the house when I have to get on my knees for reorganizing storage space under counters, in closets, pantries.Helps in so many ways for sensitive knees, or for any exercises that require you to use knees.

Kneel on this pad one knee after the other. Do ten rounds per knee counting to thirty with each kneel. Then do the two knees together for three minutes. Do this each day to strengthen your legs.

Me ha encantado este producto. Me ayudó a facilitar muchos ejercicios, desde lagartijas hasta pesos muertos a una pierna, pero sobre todo, he mejorado mucho mi equilibrio. Vale la pena invertir en un producto como este, sobre todo cuando se inicia un programa de entrenamiento de calistenia o alguna otra disciplina, en la que es mejor tener un equilibrio adecuado y un buen estado de articulaciones y ligamentos, tanto para hombres como mujeres.
