  • A stability disc (aka wobble cushion or balance disc) is a great way to work on your balance for your core, shoulders, and legs. You can use it in so many ways to help regain your balance and strengthen your smaller muscle groups. Purchase the stability disc featured in this video at www.askdoctorjo...
    If you have a weak core or bad sitting balance, you can use the stability disc to sit on and work on your balance. This can be used for children and adults. Put the disc on a chair or flat sitting area, and sit on it. For some people, you might have to use your hands for balance or even have someone help steady you. It is almost like a modified version of sitting on a swiss/stability ball. Once you sit on it, you can shift back and forth side to side. Then have someone push slightly on your shoulders so you have to keep that balance. You can also reach forward and to the side while keeping your balance.
    Now you will stand up to work on your standing balance. Make sure you have a chair or something sturdy to hold onto because this can be very challenging. It also makes a difference of how much air you have in it, and the more air, the harder to balance. Start off by simply standing on the disc. This might be challenging enough for you until you get use to it. Then you can shift your body from side to side, and even front to back.
    If those become easy, you can try balancing on one foot. The ankle will be moving a lot to try to get that balance, and that is pretty normal. Again, start off with holding onto something for balance and safety.
    Now get on the ground for some higher level core work. Put the disc slightly below your mid back, and lie down on it in a sit up position. This will make your core work harder because of the instability of the disc and you can do a deeper sit up.
    Next you will move the disc up to about at shoulder level. This time you will do a bridge. Make sure you go slow, and when coming up and down, go one segment of your spine at a time. Then roll over into a modified push up position. Put both knees on the disc, and do a push up. Finally, you will do a full push up with the discs at your hands. This one is really difficult, and you shouldn’t try until you have mastered all the others.

    Excellent video. After surgeries, I went to physical therapy and regaining balance was an important part of it. I missed the balance discs and am going to get one for use at home. Thanks.

    Hi! First of all thank you very much for yr videos,. They're very useful. I have a weak core but I wonder if this stability disc is good for people like me who have back problems, that is to say, arthroses and two hernias on the low back. Thanks again for yr videos, Rgds

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  8 лет назад

      You're welcome, and thanks! It really depends on if it hurts or not. If you can do them without hurting, it will be a great way to strengthen your core, but if you are really weak, it might hurt because you aren't quite ready for it yet. Good luck.

    I sprained my ankle and rolled it actually which caused me to fall. Fractured my left shoulder. This is the second time in 4 years that I’ve fallen from rolling my right ankle. It’s not happening to me again. This disc looks like a good place to start proprioceptive training. Just ordered it. I Hope Amazon throws a few bucks Dr. Jo’s way.

    The words are in front of your feet, which makes seeing what you are doing difficult.

      It sounds like your closed captions got turned on. You can easily turn them off by clicking the "CC" button at the bottom of the video. If you want to leave them on, you can drag them to another area on the screen, or you can make them transparent. You can even automatically translate them into many different languages. I show how to do all this and more here: ruclips.net/video/VatNBZh66Po/видео.html
