A balancing exercise device for an individual, having a flexible hemisphere having a flat circular surface and a hemispherical side surface and being made out of flexible resilient material which will compress when placed under pressure and pair of attachment straps respectively affixed on oppositely disposed sides of the hemispherical side surface and which are connected by connecting members respectively located on each attachment strap so that a body part is held against said flat circular surface when the attachment straps are connected. When each hemispherical side surface is respectively placed against an immovable object and each respective body part is respectively pressed against the flat circular surface of the flexible hemisphere to which it is attached, constant variations of movement in any and all directions of the hemisphere surface puts different stretch on the tendons, muscles, ligaments and joints and thereby stimulates increased numbers of proprioceptors and nerve cells of the body parts and further thereby creates more activation of the muscles and causes the body parts to be exercised completely and evenly.

A unique biomechanical balancing and exercising device for rehabilitating body muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints in the ankles, legs, knees, and back in order to strengthen these areas to prevent injury. The balancing and exercising device comprises a rectangular shaped platform with a central opening therethrough to accommodate a semi flexible ball member. The platform utilizes a semi flexible ball member so that the individual has the ability to balance in numerous directions and have the angle of drop much steeper. A pair of ball-shaped rigid members are mounted on the platform and located adjacent to and on opposite sides of the central opening for balancing on and securing the semi flexible ball member therebetween. The platform is placed on top of the semi flexible ball member such that the central opening accommodates a top portion of the semi flexible ball member, and thereby allows the platform to be independently tilted or pivoted front-to-back up to a 25. degree. angle and vice versa and side-to-side approximately up to a 50. degree. angle.
