Anyone use these? Look interesting.

Is there anywhere in Ireland that sells them or a good place online? Would prefer to go Ireland/UK to avoid customs etc. if possible.

We got ours from Matt in Sports Physio Supplies. You can ring up and pay over the phone. If you call before 3pm and he has them.in stock they get sent out the same day. We usually have our orders the next day.

Thanks Rogueish - very helpful! Do you find them good?

We use them for lower limb rehabilitation in a physio clinic. We tend to use them for proprioception and eccentric loading of adductors /groin and functional hip and glute activation patterns.

They are handier to transport than a sliding platform and take up a whole lot less storage space. Have fun

really good for core work and lower body exercises.

upper body not so much

Exact same thing but a fraction of the price. No online ordering unfortunatly

I'll be ordering some sets from tumbltrak during the week. If any one wants to get a set let me know on fb facebook.com/emmetlouis

I've seen those plastic discs ,used under legs of furniture to protect carpets, mentioned as a much cheaper alternative.

I use a biscuit tin lid for doing sliding reverse lunges, nasty exercise plus you get to eat a tin of biscuits
