Picturesinthefirelight Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I had a look online but got a bit confused as the generic one seemed to cone in so nany sizes. Dd says she needs a theraband one that's a certain colour but the website isn't very helpful. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifeafterballet Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Dd has a Kelly Holmes one ! It's fab ! Lovely spongy removable cover ! There is so much more she can do on it than just "wobble" !! Oh and it came via Tescos !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad house Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 We got a wobble board from TK Max too Think it was about £7.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBee Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Not sure about the wobble boards sorry, but I bought my therabands on eBay, I have a green and a blue one. Green is a lower resistance than the blue, but the blue is quite strong. The green ones are used quite alot in pilates, might be a good one to start with. Do you know what dd needs to use it for? Is it for stretching or strengthening feet and ankles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturesinthefirelight Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 We got theraband equivalents from sports direct, the teacher recommended them I'm not sure exactly what the wobble boards are for & she goes to physio direct from school so I never see them. I think it might be for strengthening. She's working on ?proprioception? due to some hyperflexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Dd also has the Kelly Holmes one from Tesco . The wobble board was recommended by the phsyio when she sprained her ankle. She has also been using it for recent knee sprain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddsballetmum Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Amazon have a wide range of wobble boards and therabands. I got dd both from them. Wobble board was 14.99 and was the same type as she used at dance school and theraband was the purple one as that is the one our dance teacher recommended for dancers.

Picturesinthefirelight Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Dd says the wobble board she uses is made by theraband but they are around £50. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Deuserband (spelling?) is recommended at DD's school for experienced/advanced students. It's the red and black one, available from Dance Direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddsballetmum Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Dd says the wobble board she uses is made by theraband but they are around £50. Yikes! £50 for a wobble board is very expensive. I have attached a link to the one that my daughter has http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wobble-Board-40-Sc-Balance/dp/B000O0YET4/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1392901665&sr=8-5&keywords=wobbleboard at a reasonably priced £14.22. It's really good quality and recommended by my dd's ballet teachers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Bit puzzled here, sorry if this is a stupid question - what is a wobble board for and how is it used? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I personally prefer stability cushions/ discs to traditional wobble boards, like this: http://www.physiotherapystore.com/Balance-Cushions-/-Wobble-Boards/Stability-Disc/prod_1619.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemongirl Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 We've got a great wobble board with a maze - you have to get the balls into the centre using your feet! Can't remember where we bought it, online somewhere, google 'maze wobble board' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Our nearest Lidl in Newhaven had a wobble board on sale yesterday .....sorry forgot to look at price...In with the sports stuff but I can check tomorrow. Have no idea about the quality etc. I remember when I broke my first ankle I used one of these as part of the NHS physiotherapy on offer afterwards. It was for strengthening the ankles after coming out of plaster. I was not offered physio when I broke the other one.....they assumed I knew what to do......which I didn't do of course and this ankle took much longer to get back to normal......3 months longer in fact....so definitely worth persevering with the physio!!

Loubylou Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi everyone, sorry I didn't give an update since you all so kindly gave me advice on pointe shows in December - will try to post it somewhere appropriate but suffice to say I am loving pointe! I've tried to do a multiquote reply here but don't think it has worked (apologies if it does something really weird!) - tried to repeat taxi4ballet's request for info about how to use a wobbleboard and what for and re LinMM's post above - Lidl has them for £7.99. I've found one under my bed (!) never used it before but I can feel when doing pointe I need to strengthen my ankles, especially the left so will start using it if that is what it is good for - silly question p'raps but do you just stand on it?? For how long/how often? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingmuppet Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 My soon to be 10 year old dd would really like a turn board for her birthday but her teacher isn't keen on the idea for her just yet and has suggested a wobble board instead. Has anyone got any suggestions on what would be a good one for dancers? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaybackSapphire Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi I got my daughter a grishko tendu one. they are good as they have grip on the top. You can get them online too. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primaballerina1 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 DD loves hers and uses it to strengthen her ankles and for turning. You can get them on Amazon quite cheap i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pups_mum Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Can anyone recommend a good wobble board please....one that will safely take an adult's weight? Its for myself, and I weigh rather a lot more than the average ballet student! I am not taking up ballet I hasten to add, but my physio has suggested I look for one as it will be useful later on in my rehabilitation from some injuries I sustained in an accident earlier in the year. I dont want to buy one that collapses under my weight and puts me back to square one 😂. I'm not hugely overweight, but I am no 40kg ballerina either! My DD never had one so Ive never seen one up close - do they state a maximum weight? Any brands that are particularly good? Thanks in advance for any advice.

drdance Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Any physio supplies website will be a good starting point. The majority of those bought by physiotherapists for use in their clinics and rehab rooms will be fine. Can you ask your physio where they get theirs from?

I didnt ask but I imagine they come via the NHS supply chain like everything else. I work for the same Trust and we get what we are given basically - I dont suppose things are any different for the physio dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetdancer Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I have the 66 Fit balance board and it's been fine for adult weight. 36cm and marketed for beginner/advanced. It's not as bendy /easy as some plastic boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 My physio says that for some exercises a wobble board is great, but for a lot of people they'd be better off just folding a pillow in half, putting it on the floor and standing on it. Surprisingly hard! Good for balance and ankle stability. So depending on what exercises your physio has set you, maybe consider other options before running out and buying a wobble board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
