Muscle Mountain SteadySole™ Foot Balance Beam - 100cm Raw Beech (2kg)

The Muscle Mountain International SteadySole™ Foot Balance Beam is a 100cm raw beech hardwood beam for training balance, foot strength and ankle and hip stability. Feet spend most of their lives wrapped in socks and shoes; balancing on a 50mm beam is a simple way to wake them back up.

Balancing and moving along the beam stretches and strengthens the small muscles of the feet, and asks your ankles and hips to stabilise you, which feeds into core strength and posture. The raw wood finish gives excellent barefoot grip and the hardwood is strong and rigid underfoot. It also works as a massage tool: roll your arches and heels along it to ease tension. If you want something more intense and industrial, the manufacturer also makes the modular aluminium NeuroBeam™; choose the SteadySole™ when you prefer the grip of raw wood in a fixed 100cm length.

Getting started is simple: stand on the beam with one foot and let the other support you, then slowly lift it clear. From there, switch feet, move forwards and backwards, sideways and lengthways, and try squatting.
