Stability training equipment asks your body to balance and brace, often on a moving or unstable surface. This section holds stability balls, foam rollers, vibration platforms, inversion tables and a step. Use it to support the plan from your therapist or doctor, not to replace it.

Vibration platforms cover the widest range. Our vibration therapy section lists Power Plate MOVE, REV, my5, my8, pro5, pro5 HP and pro7 models, with mats, power shields, pedal sets and cushions.
The balance boards section lists the Sunny Health & Fitness Fitboard 3D and 4D vibration platforms and the York Aerobic Adjustable Step.
It can give you balance, strength and mobility practice that you repeat on your own schedule. It cannot diagnose a problem, treat an injury or tell you what is safe for your condition.
Ask your doctor or physical therapist before you start, especially after surgery, an injury, or a heart, bone, eye or circulation diagnosis.
Check these six points before you buy anything:
Inversion tables need extra caution. That section, which lists the Body-Solid GINV50 and one other table, notes that inversion is commonly advised against with high blood pressure, heart disease, a history of stroke, glaucoma, osteoporosis, a hernia or pregnancy, and that blood thinners call for a physician check first.
Facilities should start with the commercial range. Our commercial rehab equipment lists Power Plate REV models plus mats, pedal sets and power shields.
Fitting out a whole room? Our guide to equipment for rehabilitation centers walks through resistance, cardio and balance tools, plus selection criteria such as space and upkeep.
It is exercise that challenges your balance and core control, usually on an unstable surface or on one leg. Stability balls, foam pads and vibration platforms are common tools, and difficulty should rise slowly.
Not quite. Balance is keeping your body upright over its base, while stability is how well your muscles and joints control movement. The two overlap, so one exercise often trains both.
It varies by patient, but common tools include balance boards, foam pads, inflated discs and vibration plates. A therapist chooses and progresses each one, so follow that plan rather than a general list.
Ask your clinician first. Our vibration pages advise a physician check first if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or recent implants, have a retinal issue or have a clotting condition. Power Plate models differ in size and build, so compare them with your therapist.
Look for equipment that is steady at rest, adjusts to the user and keeps something solid within reach, then ask a physical therapist which level fits. The listing for the MOVE Stability Bar w/ Power Shield describes a handle column that steadies you on the Power Plate MOVE for balance exercises, stretches, squats and other standing work.
