How to do it
Stability trainer pad
About 15 by 12 inches and a little over two inches thick, in closed-cell foam that compresses under a heel without bottoming out. Start with a hand on the worktop and two feet on the pad, and take the hand away when you stop thinking about it.
Why we carry this one
A firm foam pad is the first balance surface: unstable enough to work, flat enough to step off.

What to do with it

Written out step by step, with the mistake to watch for and how to make it easier on a bad day.
Others in Safety & Independence
Adjustable wrist and ankle weights
- Color:
- Blue
$29.97
Wrap them on and go about your morning. The weight is spread around the ankle or wrist rather than hanging off it, and the silicone is soft enough to wear over a sock. Adjustable, so you are not stuck with one setting.
Why this one: Straps on at the ankle so ordinary walking becomes the exercise. There is no technique to learn.

Ankle strengthener and balance board
$27.97
A tilting board for the ankle that has never been the same since. Sit down and work it with one foot, or stand on it holding the worktop when you are ready. Wooden base, non-slip top.
Why this one: Ankles are where balance is actually lost, and almost nothing on the market trains them seated.

Balance disc, 13 inch
$33.97
An inflatable cushion that never quite settles. Stand on it to make balance harder, or sit on it and let your middle make small corrections all day. The pump is in the box, so you choose how firm it is.
Why this one: Sit on it and posture trains itself; stand on it later. One object, two stages of balance.
