Cando 30-1868B Inflatable Vestibular Balance Disc, 23.6" diameter, Blue

Exactly what I was looking for, have used it a few times already. It comes only slightly inflated, and I tried to use it that way, but decided to add more air. It comes with one of those needle air adapters, but no pump, which I knew. You can use a bicycle pump or a air compressor to put more air into it. Many reviewers stated that they could not get more air into the cushion, well it is tricky to get the needle into the adapter port in the cushion. You have to pinch it and insert the needle ALL of the way in. Then it inflates with ease.I am using it to improve my balance and strengthen my legs and core. I need to do this for both exercise and for making it easier for me to use my Stand Up Surf Board. Only thing is I would like it to be a little larger in diameter, but it does allow me to use both feet on it, so not an issue.As to the weight it can handle, I am six feet tall and 200 lbs, and it holds me with no issue, and appears to maintain the air pressure I put in it. It appears to be a well made product, I would have no problem recommending it to friends and family.

I cant say enough about this product. After years of chronic upper back, neck pain and chiropractor adjustments, my hips started hurting or I thought they were. My MD said it was my lower back causing my pain and prescribed some pain meds. My chiropractor suggested I just give this a try and I have not been back to see him since. I have used it for a month. I use it in the office for about 2 - 4 hours a day. I work in a call center so am pretty much at my desk all day. I am also a photographer and haul alot of gear around. My neck has absolutely no issues. I was not able to check my blind spot driving a month ago and today is no issue. I have no problems picking up anything off the floor now. I do not have pain getting out of a chair like I used to. I can not say enough about this product. I do notice a difference if I do not use if for 3 days so think it will be a life long needed tool but each week gets better and better! The money I have saved on prescriptions and Dr visits is also amazing. $20? Best buy in years!

Edit: I am editing this review. I took my physical therapists advice of filling it until it gets some shape then letting it sit out. I used it as best as I could durring this time as well and it eventually worked it's problems out for the most part. There's still some dimpling but not nearly as bad.When I inflated this it caused a few really big buckles that I can't get rid of. More air makes it worse and less air also doesn't help. Not worth the money at all and I will be trying to get a refund or returning it because it's not functional.

It may look a bit silly, but this little seat is a serious force for good posture and greatly diminished lower-back pain. A massage therapist recommended this to me as an alternative to swapping out my otherwise-pleasant office chair for a balance ball. I've been using it at work for about six weeks and am experiencing far less pain than previously, even when the job requires extended stays at my desk. Getting used to it took a few days -- it adds a little height, and of course it's designed to cause you to make very small shifts in balances more or less constantly -- but once that's over it simply fades into the background of your day. (Until your co-workers give it a funny look, at which time you explain that this is the sort of seat they use to help small children improve their concentration in class. Then they give you a funnier look, but it's no longer about the seat...I digress.)And if I hadn't previously realized what a difference the Cando was making to my comfort, a stint of working from home last week sealed the deal -- a couple of days without it and my back hurt as *least* as much as it had before. The obvious solution is to get another Cando and be happy everywhere. That's precisely what I intend to do!

Its been 15 months and it just burst when my kid was balancing..hardly used it... now its punchured and useless

I have tried several large balance discs. This one is the best by far. It actually has the correct hole for using a needle type inflator. It has a non slip surface. It blows up properly and works perfectly. I have tried the "JFIT Inflatable Balance and Stability Disc - Largest in Industry 26" and it was so slippery it was dangerous and you had to remove a plug and blow it up with your mouth, no inflatable needle hole. Don't buy that one. I also tried a hard plastic one by "Kore Design Floor Wobbler Balance Disc 19" and it was too easy to use for balancing exercises (one to buy for beginners?). This is the one to buy.

Overall the balance ball seems to be good quality. My only complaint is that it does not include an air pump to inflate it. You'd think that paying $45 would include one as many of the smaller and less expensive ones seem to include it.

We bought this for our dog to do some of her rehab exercises. Even months later it still has a huge 'dimple' that we cannot get rid of. We would have returned it, but could not find another one the same size.
