warm soapy water and allowed to air dry.
-
Harsh cleaners or abrasives should not be used.
-
During storage, the Stability Trainer should be laid flat
with nothing on top of it, as this may leave a permanent impression on the
material. This impression only affects the appearance of the pad, not
its performance.

spikes or cleats.
Application
-
Before using the Stability Trainer, exercises should be
demonstrated and performed safely on a stable or firm surface.
-
The Stability Trainer can be placed on top of a Thera-Band
Exercise Mat to decrease slippage, but it will increase de-stabilization in
use.
-
As your balance improves, progress from holding on to
something sturdy (such as a chair) to having the support object nearby for
support as needed.
