Wobble Cushion

The wobble cushion can be used for weight bearing, strengthening and proprioception in rehabilitation patients or balance and conditioning in sporting patients.

Benefits of the wobble cushion:

  • Strengthen core musculature and limbs.
  • Improve weight bearing on a particular limb.
  • Neural stimulation.
  • Balance training.

Cavaletti poles can be used for rehabilitation and fitness. They work by re-educating the gait, encouraging even weight bearing and improved range of motion through proprioceptive input. The poles can be raised to increase the intensity of the exercise.

Benefits of poles:

  • Improve proprioception.
  • Maintain joint health.
  • Improve range of motion.
  • Improve weight bearing on a particular limb.
