Product Information
Full details
The AIREX Balance Pad is an essential tool for fitness enthusiasts, physical therapy patients, and athletes looking to improve their proprioception, core strength, and joint stability. By providing an unstable yet supportive surface, it forces the body to engage deeper stabilizer muscles during standard movements. While it is highly effective for rehabilitation and balance training, users should be aware that the 60mm soft foam requires a period of adjustment to ensure proper ankle and knee alignment during initial use.

FAQs
Is the AIREX Balance Pad suitable for beginners?
Yes, but it is recommended to start with slow, controlled movements near a wall or support structure until you gain confidence in your balance.
Can I wear shoes on the balance pad?
It is designed primarily for barefoot use or with socks. Wearing sharp-soled shoes can puncture or degrade the foam surface over time.
How do I clean the pad?
Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild disinfectant. Avoid submerging the pad or using aggressive scrubbing tools.
Can this be used for knee-based exercises?
Absolutely. The soft foam provides excellent cushioning for the knees during kneeling movements or lunges.
What is the weight capacity?
The AIREX foam is durable enough to support standard body weights for rehabilitation and fitness exercises.
Troubleshooting
The pad slides on smooth floors during exercise.
Place the pad on a yoga mat or a textured carpet to provide extra friction for the base.
Surface feels slippery when feet are sweaty.
Wipe the pad down with a clean, damp cloth and ensure it is dry before starting your next set, or use it with non-slip grip socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the AIREX Balance Pad is simple: place it on a flat, non-slip floor surface. It is compatible with a wide range of exercises, including yoga, Pilates, and resistance training. Because it is a closed-cell foam product, it does not absorb moisture, making it resistant to odors and bacteria. To clean, simply wipe the pad down with a damp cloth and mild soap after each session. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that might damage the surface. Allow the pad to air dry completely before storing it in a flat position.
