Elite Balance Pad
The AIREX® Balance Pad Elite is the further development of the proven Balance-pad. Its unique waffle texture on the upper and lower sides is slip-resistant on the one hand and simultaneously provides pleasant stimulation of the foot receptors during barefoot balance training, on the other hand. The thickness of 60 mm gives the Balance-pad Elite the desired destabilizing characteristics.
Solid Balance Pad
The AIREX® Balance Pad Solid allows much softer stimuli due to its higher density; it is not as wobbly as all the other AIREX® Balance Pads. An optimum solution for senior people or therapists who want to use it in the early course of therapy. Due to its extremely robust properties, it can also be trained on shoes.
The extensive waffle-like embossing on both sides allows a simple, even more, slip-resistant and safe therapy and training application.
Intended Purpose
The AIREX® Balance-pad is an active therapy and training device made of the familiar soft AIREX® foam material. The Balance-pad, with its smooth surface, is ideal for starting with barefoot balance training. The thickness of 60 mm gives the Balance-pad the desired destabilizing characteristics. Due to the yielding foam, the body is continuously challenged to maintain balance and stabilize the joints. This exercises more and deeper muscles compared to performing the same exercises without the Balance-pad. Due to the comfortable, smooth surface, the Balance-pad is not entirely slip-resistant on smooth floors. We recommend an AIREX® mat underneath as the ideal complement.
The AIREX® products are designed as a movement therapeutic aid for both institutional and domestic use. An object lying on the floor serves as a support for a person during medically indicated and prescribed exercises to improve motor skills and balance or postural control and/or for the therapeutic movement treatment of muscle weakness in the limbs and trunk as a result of neurological or orthopedic disease.

Superior Construction and Quality of Airex Balance Pad Products
Airex Balance Pad products have changed the game with a unique closed-cell foam construction. Offering both softness and stability, this allows users to perform exercises comfortably while challenging their balance systems effectively. The foam density also supports body weight without excessive compression, all while maintaining its shape and effectiveness after prolonged use. These pads come pre-sanitised, making them suitable for immediate use in all types of settings.
These balance pads come in three sizes: the Elite, the Solid, and the XLarge. The generous dimensions provide ample space for many types of exercises while remaining portable enough for home use or transport between locations. This thoughtful sizing makes the balance pads versatile enough for single-leg stands, squats, lunges, and numerous other balance-challenging movements.
Sanitized Technology - The Airex Difference
Airex Balance Pads are equipped with Sanitized® technology that prevents the accumulation of bacteria, fungi, and unpleasant odours. This treatment is integrated directly into the foam, which thereby helps to keep the surface hygienic (even with frequent use).
Ideal for physiotherapy or balance training, the antimicrobial properties prevent microbial build-up that can affect comfort and longevity. Users can train confidently, knowing the Balance Pad remains safe and clean, combining effective performance with reliable hygiene protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between Airex Balance Pads and a regular balance pad?
All Airex Balance Pads are made with premium closed-cell foam that provides long-lasting cushioning and shape retention. Unlike regular balance pads that compress quickly, they maintain their integrity over years of use and include a non-slip, antibacterial surface for superior hygiene and safety in clinical settings.
-
How does the waffle texture on these Balance Pads enhance stability training?
The distinctive waffle texture improves grip and creates additional sensory stimulation underfoot. This increases proprioceptive demand, making balance exercises more effective by engaging the stabilising muscles more deeply than on a flat-surfaced balance pad.
-
What specific exercises can be performed on an Airex balance pad for ankle and knee rehabilitation?
Common physiotherapy exercises include single-leg stands, heel raises, step-ups, and controlled squats. These movements challenge the ankle and knee joints on an unstable surface, helping rebuild strength, stability, and proprioception following injuries such as sprains or ligament damage.
-
Can I use the Airex balance pad on any type of flooring?
These balance pads can be used on most flat surfaces, including wood, tile, and carpet. The non-slip base provides stability, but for safety, it’s best to avoid uneven or slippery floors. Many physiotherapists recommend using it on a firm surface for consistent results.
-
What are the benefits of using an Airex balance pad for core strengthening exercises?
Training on an Airex balance pad activates your deep core muscles by creating subtle instability during movements like planks, lunges, or seated balance holds. This not only strengthens the abdominals but also improves spinal alignment, posture, and overall body control.
