where to find a wobble board in Beijing

[yonitabonita]

Hi folks,

I keep spraining my ankle and it's time I do something about strengthening it. Does anyone know where I can locate a wobble board in Beijing? It's a bit of a long shot, but one never knows.

cheers,

Y

Hi, Yonnie

Haven't the doctor given you a wobble board?

Or have you ever been to some private Chinese medicine clinic?

There's a big big sports equipment store on Wangfujing - they had stuff like that in the basement when I went in there last autumn. I also read there's a Decathlon opening somewhere, that'd be worth checking for something of the wobble board genre.

But you could probably strengthen your ankle & the arch of the foot by standing on one leg and moving your arms &/ free leg around. The faster you move them, the harder it is to balance. Also worth considering tai chi.

Good luck anyway!

Tricky one. Wobble board seems to be 球底板 or 平衡版？Can't find anywhere that seems to sell them. I might be inclined to try on campus or nearby the Sports University, but it's a bit of a trek without any definite leads. There's this
