THERABAND Stability Trainer Pad

My orthopedic physical therapist showed me some balance exercises on the TheraBand Stability Trainer. I ordered one, and I'm more than impressed! 1) When I do the workout the PT showed me, I get a great workout and I'm progressing quickly. 2) You can put this anywhere that you're going to be standing and take an exercise break. 3) This type of stability exercise is much more "functional" (I mean, prepares you for something you have to do in real life) than a bosu The Theraband is similar to any uneven surface such as walking on grass, a natural movement. OTOH, a bosu is a wild ride, I'll never have that kind of situation to walk through. (And please don't misunderstand: I'm not putting down the bosu!!! It's just more advanced exercise accessory. For a therapeutic patient like myself, the aim is mobility, not sports excellence; so a bosu would be too challenging.) 4) The instruction booklet has about 15 pages of really good suggested exercises for the whole body, which means that you could use this product as a multipurpose exercise center. 5) It was a bargain for the money I paid ($26), it's large, thick, well-made.

WILL BUILD MUSCLE

I got a surgery on my foot, and this help me a lot! I can do the same exercises as in the rehab, it is bigger that the one I use with the doctor but is very usefull. I love it!

This product is just like the one I used at my physical therapy appointments. It saved me a few bucks buying it online. I'm perfectly happy with it. I don't know enough about how these pads are made, but suspect if the same exact product was a toy instead of a health product it would be half the cost to the consumer. Opinion: I'm not sure saving a few bucks is worth putting cash into Amazon's hands and out of the local community.

I'd give it 5 stars but, to love a device that makes you work and hurt doesn't seem right. However it does deserve all 5.I got one of these after using the same brand at physical therapy, for recovery from a total knee replacement. Trying to keep your balance with one foot on this isn't easy, and makes you use all the leg muscle and connective tissues. Well that's the point of it. It's not fun, but it's an extremely good workout for my atrophied right leg, and I am getting better. Charles

Quality and great to achieve good balance

This is a great product!! I prefer it to an airex pad when performing half kneeling exercises at the gym wherever it's for my workout or a clients. Takes up a little less space and has the perfect amount of cushion for my knee. I would also prefer it over an airex pad for doing unilateral drills for stability

I have had these for many years and ordered another pair. They are twice the size of the older model and are far too big for stacking and using as yoga blocks. I called the company and they told me they don’t make the smaller ones anymore.

EL PRODUCTO ES ENVIADO TAL CUAL APARECE EN LA DESCRIPCION DE VENTA DEL PRODUCTO, ADEMÁS DE QUE ES UN EXCELENTE PRODUCTO QUE VALE LA PENA TENER EN CASA PARA EJERCITARSE.

Ich nutze dieses für die Arbeit mit Pferden. Was soll ich sagen, hält was es verspricht - und das obwohl ich es weitaus größeren Belastungen aussetze, als die, für die es gemacht wurde. Wie langlebig und robust das Pad ist, kann ich noch nicht sagen, soweit macht es aber einen sehr guten Eindruck. Würde es wieder kaufen und kann es jedem empfehlen. Ich selbst habe es auch mal ausprobiert, allerdings reagieren die Pferde darauf viel eindrucksvoller! 4 Sterne für die Haltbarkeit gebe ich deshalb, weil ich die volle Punktzahl ungern vorab erteile ohne es eine längere Zeit getestet zu haben.

Je pensais avoir acheté cette planche pour rééducation de ma cheville pour un niveau difficile et c'est l'inverse. C'est le plus facile. Très mal indiqué dans la présentation sur Amazon

I personally found it to be a bit firm but this is an ideal beginner stability trainer. It's also available in medium soft (blue foam)-my personal favourite- and extra soft (black air inflated; not foam). These pads are what you would find in most physiotherapist clinics and are durable/made to last and I can see are easy to clean. This foam pad can be used as a knee pad(i.e. during yoga practice or stretching), ankle strengthener/balance trainer, and also as seat/back support and more. If you're looking for something portable/packable/light to travel along with you to games or workouts, this item is light but rather large/bulky. Large feet? this item is for you. It's too bad Thera-Band doesn't offer these items in a smaller size.

Excelente producto, lo recomiendo amplia mente ya que supero las expectativas y el vendedor muy atento, no tarde nada en recibir el paquete!!!!!!
