Hi Guys

When I was at my physio last week, she gave me a shot of one of these cushions. I have a lot of weakness in my feet, ankles and calf muscles, and have not been able to get up on my tip-toes since my accident. I got myself one a week and a half ago, and am now starting to feel a little bit of strength in my calf muscles when I try to work them. It's basically a wobbleboard, but instead it's a flat rubber cushion of air which feels as though you have to work harder than a flat wobbleboard. I found one on www.physiomedhomecare.com

I can walk un-aided for fairly short distances, but I still find balance and co-ordination a problem. Even if I just stand on this cushion and shift my weight about to try and help balancing I can feel some of my back muscles working. I tought I would let everybody know about it in case it can help anybody else.
