Regain Your Footing

I recently broke my ankle while hiking in the Great Smokey Mountains. My doctor suggested to me a few different exercises to strengthen my ankle and leg muscles that weren't being used while I was on crutches and in a walking boot. Unfortunately, none of the basic physical therapy exercises were making much of a difference. I kept finding myself favoring my good leg or worse, completely losing my balance.
I bought the Theraband Stability Trainer in hopes that I could make a little improvement. I was blown away by how quickly I was able to rebuild muscle strength and regain my balance. I started out slowly with the green foam pad, but within just a few days I graduated to the blue foam pad. At first it was challenging, but I hung in there and I could tell each day that my ankle was feeling better. It wasn't giving out nearly as often and I wasn't using the hand rails in my house anymore. Finally, I used the black air-filled board to help push me over the top.
I am positive that this product would help anyone who needed to re-strengthen an ankle, knee, or back. In fact, my core got as much of a workout as my legs and that really made a huge difference in my balance. I highly recommend the Theraband Stability Trainer for anyone on the mend.

A Rollator With Style and Class

We know how important mobility is for our customers. That’s why we carry a wide range of walkers, canes, and rollators for you to choose from. I’d like to highlight the Guardian Economy Rollator from Medline.

This is an affordable rollator with more bells and whistles than a new car.

First of all it’s a light weight product which is always a plus. If you can’t easily pull it out of storage then there’s no use in owning it, right? Speaking of storage, this baby folds up perfectly to fit in even the tightest spaces. You won’t have to rearrange your closet just to make room for your new rollator.

The seat and backrest are both padded for maximum comfort and the arms are adjustable so that you can customize it perfectly for yourself. A small basket allows you to carry personal items like a purse or other accessories. The Guardian Economy Rollator also comes in a variety of colors so you can get one the suits your own taste.

This rollator does have a loop-style braking mechanism so that you can lock it in place easily. This will keep it from rolling away or slipping out from under you when you’re trying to take a seat. Medline really has thought of everything in this design and we’re glad to be able to offer it to you at an affordable price.
