SAFER PHYSICAL THERAPY BALANCE TRAINING AT HOME!
Having benefited from physical therapy several times over the last few years, I know that balance exercises are strongly incorporated into PT regimens. Compromised or aging joints require extra care (not to mention the demands of climbing stairs) and, now that COVID-19 has limited public options, I needed safe balance training at home. After seeing the design of the 60up Balance System I ordered one. Mine arrived promptly in good condition, no problems, via UPS. Unfortunately for Amazon Prime customers this item is NOT Prime eligible, so I had to pay an additional shipping charge. No free returns either, if needed.
The 60up may look like a colorful big toy, but its design is serious for the purpose – really impressive. The base platform is solidly molded and very sturdy – you feel confidently supported. Assembly was straightforward. The 2020 model replaced the silver base pins with built-in all red pole pins. Simply follow the enclosed Quick Setup sheet. And, according to a response from Dan Metcalfe, there is now an online printable Manual illustrating 35 exercises in case users can't watch Facebook, DVD or YouTube video every time. Sometimes quiet or simply listening to music helps you with your progress on the balance board. All in all, the 60up is an innovative addition to quality physical therapy tools. I wish my physical therapy facility had been using these. Thank you for designing an exceptional product and continuing to improve it!
