Description

Improve Your Balance. Build Stability. Recover With Confidence.

The Fortress Balance Pad is a versatile rehabilitation and fitness tool designed to improve balance, proprioception, joint stability and core strength. Whether you’re recovering from an ankle sprain, improving athletic performance, preventing falls, or challenging your everyday exercises, this premium foam balance pad provides the perfect unstable training surface. Manufactured from high-quality closed-cell specialty foam, the Fortress Balance Pad is soft enough for comfort while providing the instability needed to activate stabilising muscles throughout the feet, ankles, knees, hips and core. Its textured waffle surface gently stimulates the sensory receptors of the feet, encouraging improved neuromuscular control while promoting healthy circulation. Because it doesn’t absorb water, it’s equally suitable for clinic use, home rehabilitation and aquatic therapy.
