Why Balance-T?

Everyone has something to gain by working to improve their balance.

As we age balance becomes even more essential. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, falling is the primary cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. More than one fourth of adults aged 65 years or above will fall each year (CDC Newsroom,2016). Additionally, in the elderly falls are the cause of over 90% of hip fractures. Hip fractures are life altering and often result in not only altering your life but also shortening it!

If you are an athlete regular balance work can decrease the risk of ankle sprains and keep you competitive and in the game instead of being injured on the sideline.

If you have had a concussion or a head injury imbalance may be limiting the fullness of your daily activities and putting you at risk for your falls as well.

The Balance T offers a truly functional way to train your balance.
