Does it help with balance?

you're sitting and using core and thigh muscles; as previously answered, it also helps with posture. Balance may be another issue, unless one's balance is so bad, you'd have trouble sitting and pushing back and forward as required. For the "standing-on-one-leg" balance - doubt it. Great exercise, though.

I'm honestly not sure...It strengthens your core, even more so when you contract your muscles properly when using it. I've never been a huge fan of exercise balls & sit-ups because of lower back issues, but I love this machine and I have noticed my posture has improved. Sorry I wasn't of more help...

I believe it does. I exercised on a treadmill and lift weights prior to getting this, and my weight has maintained/lost since using this-just is less stressful to the body. Any type of exercise is beneficial, plus you will be more willing to use this if it is easier on you back/knees or what ever hurts.

Yes and No...I think it will help but you should also add something stronger to it. I wear my during the day with shoes, I hope this helps

Yes it does. Remember that if you tighten it to much it will restrict your movement.

No. You have to stand on it and use your body weight to balance yourself to keep from falling off.

I don't think I can be of any help with your question I have only taken the Maximum Strength I take it at night it seems to help me more with night sweats. I would say if your having trouble with balance you may want to consider contacting a DR.

I agree with the comments that it is for stabalizing your balance. It is not meant to support a person's full weight. My wife sits on a chair in the shower/tub and uses it to help her sit down and get up after her lower g.i. surgery. It works great if you have a smooth unbroken surface like tile to stick the cups to. Easy to place as the snaps just close on each cup and provide suction. My wife loves it and wants me to get one for my 89 yr. old mother's shower... Highly recommend it for that.

I don't know. But the price makes it worth the price. I noticed balance improvement within days.

I think so especially if you tend to be clumsy, bad sense of balance etc. When I try to stop I tend to get tipsy so I'm thinking the stabilizer bar would have helped. Also when I'm jumping it would have kept me more upright and balanced (if that makes sense).

i used it a couple of times and there was nothing fast about it. as far as balance that was not a problem.

Not at all. My 3 year old loads it with toys and "treasures" she finds on her bike rides and there are no issues with balance.

I am not an expert on negative ions and balance. I do know that my husband wears his wristband a lot. So, there appears to be some benefit from wearing it.

I would not depend on it to support body weight; I feel it is just to help balance a person. It can come loose; I have had the bottom lock come lose. It is a great help if you feel a little dizzy or light-headed. My balance is not that great so it helps me.

No. To be honest it wasn't much help. I stopped using it a couple of days after I received it.

It could help as it will promote blood circulation. It depends on the cause of your numbness.

Yes, it helps a lot. Use it with curved side down where you can "rock" it with your feet.

Yes probably at a slower speed. I use it on my shoulders and neck and feel it helps work out tension
