Core sliders are small dual-sided discs that reduce friction between the hand or foot and the floor, allowing smooth, controlled sliding movements that challenge core stability, shoulder strength, and lower extremity control. The Synergee sliders work on both hard floors (foam side) and carpet (plastic side), making them practical for home use. For climbers, they are useful for core anti-extension exercises, pike progressions, shoulder stability drills, and hip flexor strengthening — movements that directly translate to the body tension and positional control required on the wall.

Description
How are sliders used in climbing rehabilitation?
Sliders are effective for core and shoulder rehab because they require continuous muscular engagement to control the sliding movement rather than a single point of exertion. Exercises like body saw, slider pike, and sliding mountain climbers build the core stability and shoulder girdle strength that support injury-free climbing.
Do they work on all floor surfaces?
Yes. The dual-sided design has a foam side for hard smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile, and a plastic side for carpet or turf. This makes them versatile for most home environments without needing a specific floor type.
What is a common lower body exercise that slides can be used for?
Sliders are commonly used for heel curls, which train the hamstrings and help build lower-body strength and control. Place your heels on the sliders, lift your hips into a bridge position, and slowly slide your heels out and back in while keeping your hips lifted.
