The stabilisation system comprising a ground contacting base G, with means for applying pressure to the base, A support E that can support weights, or on which a person can sit stand or kneel, may be part of the system. A pivotally mounted upright shaft or column may be part of the system and may be used to apply pressure directly or indirectly to the base.
