BalanceStep is a novel lower body adjustable resistance harness for improving balance
BalanceStep has evolved the proven effectiveness of resistance bands in muscle strengthening. Now, the wearer can instantly and easily adjust the tension of the multiple internal resistance bands. These resistance bands are arranged on the left and right sides of the harness - in the front and back. Available external resistance bands offer customization, and thus optimization of each exercise session.
A foundation of effectiveness of resistance bands in Physical Therapy and Exercise.
I am a fellowship trained Sports Medicine Physician with a graduate degree in Exercise Physiology. I have been assisting my patients’ to better health for nearly 30 years. I am a life long athlete and inventor. After my 93+ years young mother tripped and fell over her garden hose, she undertook Physical therapy and Rehabilitation. Her balance restorative exercises included the problematic placement of a looped resistance band about her ankles. This required a chaperone to ensure this did not cause her to fall, yet again. I immediately set out to create a safer method of restoring mother’s balance. This quest, along with learning that falls in US senior citizens such as myself as of 2025. are an epidemic, led me to create BalanceStep. BalanceStep is my patented adjustable lower body resistance harness. With regular use, BalanceStep strenghtens hip muscles. Strong hip muscles are critical for maintaining static and dynamic balance. Improved balance can decrease the large percentage of senior citizens who fall due to muscle weakness. Sarcopenia is a muscle weakening and shrinking phenomenon that begins when we reach 30 years of age. We begin to lose 6% of our muscle mass every decade. This is preventible! BalanceStep is the solution.
Wholly self-contained. Nothing else is necessary. All that’s needed is BalanceStep & You!
