I've got three. For me the thing is getting into position and dealing with various and sundry pain stuffs. My most recent one is a quite soft one which makes ALL the difference in the world. I have several PT exercises I have to be balanced on it for. You're right though, when it's good it's very good.

This morning a couple of beach miles and then about 20 minutes of wandering around in the soft stuff for foot exercise.

Yesterday at PT we worked on a nerve issue in one leg (the other one) and came up with an interesting Rube Goldberg kind of setup for traction on the one side and I'm supposed to do it for 10mins 4-5 times a day for two weeks to see if it will help. So far, I've done it once due to it taking about 10 mins to figure out getting into that configuration. I think I figured out how to make it worse. More trials needed there but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it with a few more tries.
