I don't get why you don't see that as a legitimate recovery technique. I stood on the rope bridge and played catch with my therapist for weeks. I could feel the burn in all the little mucsles in my legs in very short order doing that. These were muscles I did not even realize I had (all alongside my shin bone and around my ankles). This sort of work allowed me to get strength in my legs that I did not have before. Now I have this amazing balance. I can stand on one leg with my eyes closed no problems for a minute or longer. This wasn't possible before I did this sort of work.
I am not saying that the bosu training this is a good idea for all people when they start out with a trainer and I agree that many clueless trainers just use it without understanding what they are doing. That said, I fail to see that training on an unstable surface is a bad thing in other applications or that it is harmful.
