Medium Pilates Oov

I have sciatica, and my body is very very out of balance. Specifically my right hip flexor and hamstrings are tight, my right pelvic floor and rib cage are tight, and my abs on that side . . it's like they don't exist. I've been in and out of physical therapy for years. I've read books about facilitating the mind muscle connection to fix the issue. I tried pilates in the hope to connect to my core, but couldn't do any of the exercises without hurting my back, but thankfully it did put me onto the oov. The Oov allows my body to lengthen that psoas, in a way that has never been possible before, and suddenly everything else can start engaging in a better way. I've only been using it for 2 weeks, but the progress is soooo impressive. I feel like I could write a soliloquy about the damn piece of foam, but suffice it to say I don't know if I ever would have been able to reconnect with my core without this thing. I will update as time goes by and hopefully the progress will continue to be amazing! Almost 4 months in, and I'm still crazy about the Oov, which isn't showing any signs of wear. I went from only being able to lay on it every other day, to doing 45 min a day. I can now do the double leg stretch with a yoga ball under my feet, and I can do ballet arms with my legs in table top. I hope in a few more months I will be doing a full dead bug, but I've never felt more in control of my core. It is truly waking up muscles I don't think have actively contracted in years, and makes me want to cry tears of joy at times. Make sure to pretend your legs are light as feathers, to sink your hips down into their sockets, and squeeze an imaginary ball between your legs, and of course go slow as a snail!

So excited for this, I use the oov at my OT and decided it was worth the investment (in money and space - we live in a tiny home). I purchased through balanced body's Amazon store to ensure the product came new since the description says it is frequently returned. Shipping was a week faster than expected. Love the versatility of workouts you can do, but most of the time I'm just standing on it to strengthen glutes and quads. I wish I had more space to get all 3 sizes, but just stoked to have the medium for now.

I am a 27 year old woman who works a lot of odd jobs some of which are physically demanding, I am a yoga teacher and have heavily indulged in climbing, cycling, and weight lifting depending on the time of year for the last 7 years. I've had to give up climbing to keep my shoulder from falling apart, cycling is difficult due to a weird strain in some connective tissue in my right leg, my right hand experiences numbness I'm guessing from the aggravated shoulder pinching some nerve, and I've thrown my back out not once but twice doing mundane tasks. Long story short, my body needs help on a myofascial level. A friend introduced me to this product and I could feel a huge difference hours after spending just a few minutes on an Oov - I regained sensation in my right thumb which I hadn't properly felt in weeks after just one 5 minute tutorial. I ordered one as soon as could despite the price-point being a little high for my income, it felt like a sound decision. Incorporating a few minutes on the Oov before and after work has made a world of difference in my aches and pains and I feel this deep internal relief that I have never ever felt. My back feels better, my core is engaging in a deep way during my exercises on the Oov which I find to be challenging to do without it, and shoulder feels loads and loads better. After spending a few minutes on it exercising and stretching I feel physically better than if I had done an hour of yoga. Not to say yoga isn't the bomb, but adding this to my busy life has been a true blessing. My friend that recommended it said once he started using it daily he felt like he "leveled up" and he broke through to a new grade in his climbing. The only thing we changed and added to our routines was the Oov. 10/10 would recommend.

This is a wonderful tool to have to add to or complete your pilates equipment. Great core workout. The surface is not uncomfortable at all. You really should have an Oov trained instructor guide you through the exercises to ensure you're getting the best use of this equipment.

This is a surprisingly effective tool for working balance and core strength. Been using it with my instructor in class for years, and finally confident enough that I can use it at home without direct instruction. Be sure to check and get the right one for your height/weight, or you won't be able to do the exercises right.

Durable, easy to use, worth the money. I was introduced to this device from my PT to address my plantar fasciitis aside from my overall injury. It worked instantly, within seconds, so I decided to get one for myself for home use.

I've been using an Oov at my local Pilates studio. I love it and finally have one at home. This helps me relax and is a great addition to my at home exercise routine. Provides great support for your spine and overall posture during exercise. You'll love it more and use it more if you seek out an instructor to help you in understanding the benefits of the Oov.

Like the Oov and the App for exercises is very good. Got this to help rehab a back injury, it does seem to cause my back muscles to activate so I am approaching its use very carefully.
