Versatile 40 Inch Beech Wood Balance Beam for Home Use - Enhance Balance, Ankle Strengthener Foot Exerciser for Sprained, Physical Therapy Purposes for Plantar Fasciitis Relief

WOW! we love this piece of equipment so much. It was a very simple assembly, and so sturdy once assembled. both parents and children alike are benefitting from having this tool in our home. We are using it for balance and agility training in our homeschool, but also use it to help relieve pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. The wood is so well made it feels like a massage on the feet. My children with EDS stopped complaining of ankle pain after playing on this daily. I would highly recommend this to help develop the muscles in ankle and feet and build core strength. The bonus for this is how easy it is to store! slides right under our couch because it is a very functional size.

Love this little beam! I use it every day! I have various ways of using it! Really great to increase balance. I can tell a difference in my legs and feet. My son uses it for push ups. My husband also walks on it and I sent my brother one for Christmas! Another way to stay active especially through winter. Stores easily under couch! I leave it out most of the time so it's used more by everyone in the house. 😉

Very sturdy and well made! The wood is well made, although the screw holes on one side for the leg was not quite parallel with the other side. I found that the wood had a fine powdery feel to it. I therefore sanded it down and sealed it with polyurethane. This actually made the balance beam less slippery and will prevent dirt and body oils from my feet staining the wood. Price is reasonable too.

Simple to assemble. While installing the legs, I had an issue with one of the legs. I contacted the manufacturer by email. They responded the quickly, and tried to trouble shoot. I explained to them that I had already tried to do what they had recommended, and holes didnt align. They sent me a replacement within a few days. Product works great now!

No safety rails, but low to the ground. Perfect for an older toddler (through a 140lbs adult) to practice balancing. Easy to assemble, good size, and solid wood. Not a bad workout if used repeatedly.

This is very narrow, but I knew that buying it. Despite having pretty good balance I can't walk on this without holding the wall, but it's not really long enough to do much walking. I got the balance beam to help with my nearly constant heel pain. Standing on the thin, round wooden bar really has helped to strength and strengthen my feet. I very rarely have any pain now, and if I do have mild pain, I just stand on here for a few moments and it's gone. The profile of this balance beam is very small, and it's quite sturdy. I'm about 250 lbs, and it doesn't bend or move when I walk on it. I recommend gripping socks or bare feet to avoid slipping.

This beam is super sturdy and has been so helpful in strengthening my ankle. I am so happy with this purchase!

Every middle-ager should have this little piece of wood. Balance is something you don't even think about until you fall and break something, like I did last year. I keep it in front of the TV and I've been using it for a few minutes at a time throughout the day, and I can already feel the difference. After 6 months of not using my left leg, I can tell it is much weaker than my right leg. At first I couldn't even stand on this for a single second, but I am slowly getting better and I can feel the small muscles in both of my legs getting stronger.
