I have spinal stenosis and as a result, sitting for too long a time results in extreme lower back, glut and hamstring tightness. The best solution for me is a work station that allows for changes between a standing seated position.Previously, I had a standing-only desk with a stool and cushioned floor mat, but I only noticed a real benefit to that mat when standing on it barefoot as it was more comfortable than the concrete floor. But it never really aided my back.When I changed jobs, I purchased a rising piston-supported desk here on Amazon by TaoTronics, which is great, and this balance board. I’ve been using it for two weeks now, and I must say, it’s been very helpful.The bubble-like cushy surface feels good on my feet when I’m standing on it in my socks, but I have no problems using it with shoes on either, I just lose the benefit of the textured surface. The balancing point is not extremely fine, so don’t expect an ab work out or anything too challenging to stand on. I normally use it with the very outer edge of each side of the board through the middle of each foot when positioned horizontally-about shoulder width apart. Though this likely isn’t the recommended method since you’re foot could slip off, I find I get a more comfortable foot width this way and when I rock, get more motion. If I am experiencing any tightness, just get bored or am feeling kind of funky, I like to rock back-and-forth from side to side. This activates lower back and leg muscles helping with blood flow and preventing muscle tightness.From time to time I will rotate it to what I call the vertical position, or where it’s a long ways front to back. In this motion I can sway forward to backwards creating somewhat of a walking-style motion that changes the way the leg muscles activate.I’ve had several people around the office ask me about it and try it out and I’m pretty sure this company will be receiving a few more orders in the coming weeks.It’s not cheap, but if you’re considering a traditional standing mat for anything other than foot fatigue, I would recommend going this route for a few more dollars. I do believe that this is far more worth the money. It has solid construction, a comfortable top and gives your legs something to do while at your desk. I do kind of wish it was a tad bit wider, but that’s asking quite a bit from a product in this range.I highly recommend it.

We have height adjustable desks in office, and I spend more time standing to work than sitting. Previously I was using the standard type of mat. This product definitely increased the comfort level to a whole new level! I like to move my legs a bit when standing (sway left-right-left etc.) on this product to relax my legs. It is also soft enough that my feet no longer feel pain from standing. I'd highly recommend this product. And yes, all of my colleagues who saw me using this product tried and they all love it!

I had used a Bosu at my standing desk before but found it too big and bulky. this is a nice size and I'm finding myself standing more and more now that I have it. It's also easier to use and balance on than the Bosu so I would definitely recommend for anyone who is hesitant about the balancing aspect. I do wish the bumps were a little firmer. I don't find much of an effect on bare feet from them.

I don't even know where to begin with describing this balance board. I just got it two days ago and I don't wanted to sit down anymore. I use it in my office and I am just love n it. I really do I love it wished I did order this way earlier I mean 10 years ago. It help to keep your core muscle nice and tight and it also balances your hip from side to side where you get the stretch in the sides of your body. I am super, super happy with it and my coworkers ordered one right after they saw mine.

I've been using this for about a week and I have to say my lower back and legs don't seem to be as tired as they used to. I like that I can rock slow or fast and get the circulation going in my legs.

I got my Strong-tek balance board Wednesday night as promised, and brought it into work on Thursday. It's just the right size for my office and felt good to stand on and balance back and forth. It's well made and sturdy. The hole where you pick up the board I thought would be weird, but with my shoes on, you don't notice and the handle is handy for easy storage. I'm off today, so only one day use so far, but will give a follow up, once I've had a chance to really use it.So far, liking it!

I am very happy with this balance board. It is very nice and helps me keep a good posture when I use my standing desk. The quality is great. I absolutely recommend.

Ordered the balance board to use at work with my standing desk (multilevel). Hoping to help my back feel better while standing. The board is great and works much better than I expected. I wanted a board that is easy to balance, low to the ground but the board also has a rubber bottom so it doesn’t slip and is a good weight. Several others tried it out and really liked it also. Great Product!
