About this item

  • AIREX BALANCE PAD: Foam pads are lightweight, comfortable, non-slip and ideal for physical therapy, exercise and balancing/stability training. Works as a workout/plank pad, balance mat, yoga foam pad, Pilates cushion, kneeling pad, and therapy foam pad.
  • #1 RECOMMENDED: The foam balance pad physical therapy trainers trust the most. Continue your rehab and therapy treatments at home and improve stability and mobility while strengthening joints, ankles and knees, and increasing flexibility and endurance.
  • NON SLIP SURFACE: Workout pad has a non-slip, durable tear-resistant integrally molded skin surface for extra grip and toughness and is stimulating to feet when used barefoot - instability challenges balance, making it great for joint and fascia rehab.

  • PROFESSIONAL-GRADE: Balance mat is constructed with high-quality materials and will maintain its shape over time, not sag, and the edges will not curl and remain flat, making it ideal for everyday use.
  • MULTI-USE: Exercise balance pad works to increase instability and difficulty of balance, mobility, standing stability, and motor-skill training - great for use as a kneeling pad for around the house in the garden, kitchen, bathroom or standing desk mat.
  • EASY CARE: Simply rinse, shake off excess water and allow to air dry after use. Foam balance mat is designed for repeated use in commercial gyms, clubs and PT clinics as well as home workout environments and alternate uses around the house or office.

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 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Firm enough for PT, balancing, kneeling pad in home
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024
Size: BasicColor: BlueVerified Purchase
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.

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🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

One of the pains of growing older is losing a good sense of balance. I’ve had physical therapy and found the balance exercises (especially with my eyes closed) a good way to improve balance. Purchase of this balance pad has made it possible to continue such exercises at home.

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.
