Single-Leg Ankle Balance Board (Bamboo, 2 Levels)
This single-leg board trains one ankle at a time, which makes it a good tool for building ankle stability, proprioception, and strength in the small muscles of the foot. I recommend it for clients who are progressing after an ankle sprain, working on Achilles or plantar fascia issues, or getting back their balance for daily life and sport. It has two difficulty settings, so you can start on the more stable level and move up as your control improves. It's made of solid bamboo with a non-slip top, it's small enough to keep by the couch or take to the gym, and it comes with a guide of progressive exercises. Start with a hand on a counter or wall, and check with your provider before using it for an acute or recent injury.
