Sports reviews of Bongo Balance Board

Customer Review: Great for rehab on my ankle!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I was in a motorcycle accident and busted up my left leg, ankle, and foot pretty badly, needing surgeries and rehab. One of my biggest issues with my ankle is eversion and inversion movement, as well as tilt and rotation of the joint.
I have been desperate to find something I can do at home that will help with my range of motion issues, and when I saw this, I jumped for it.
First--let me tell you, that sitting on the couch, moving it around, helps my ROM issues. When I try to stand on it, it pushes me so hard, to move and strengthen my ankle, foot, and leg (both sides, but of course, the left is more stressed). When you move around, it works your entire core (and my core is pretty strong to begin with).
I can imagine that this will continue to get harder and harder as I progress through the tips that are included (from simply standing on it and remaining motionless all the way to walking it across the room).
It's a lot of fun to do, too, presuming you can laugh at yourself when you fall.
A great party game hahaha. (But don't do this if you're under the influence--you'd break your neck for sure!)
If you're a person with little core strength or balance, you might want to use it against a wall, and keep your hands on the wall for balance. Also working on the carpet is a good starting point. Moving away from the wall and onto hard surfaces would make things harder.

This is a quality piece of equipment. It's VERY sturdy, the skid plates are totally non-slip, and the underside's roller is smooth (won't hurt your floor) and sturdy. The plank itself is very strong. I didn't realize when I ordered this just how heavy duty it is. It looks like this piece of equipment will stand up to a LOT of use (and abuse). I'm VERY impressed!

I'm a personal trainer, and believe that I will use this with clients as well. Both for rehab work as well as core work. I really felt my obliques when I got off of this puppy.

Not for the feignt of heart! You have to really work at this.
