Bridgett Wallace, PT, DPT and Charlotte Howell, PTA will guide you through a series of questions to assess your strength, balance, and coordination.

We'll also tell you about our new program:
Balance Yourself - based on the Otago Exercise Program. The Otago Exercise Program is performed under the direct supervision of a professional and has been demonstrated to reduce falls and fall-related deaths by 46%. We have adapted the program to be accessible to everyone in the comfort of their own home, it's a game-changer!


To celebrate Balance Awareness Week and the launch of our new fall prevention program, Balance Yourself, we're hosting FREE, live Check My Balance classes!

Sensory Sticks ($90)
Naboso's Sensory Sticks stimulate the surfaces of your palms to activate those connections and prepare you for movement. Additionally, because the sensory sticks are lightly weighted (2 lbs each), they actually activate your joints and muscles as well, creating an exponential mind/body connection.

Standing Mat (value $75)
Naboso's standing mat is an excellent way to quickly wake your feet and keep the foot muscles strong throughout the day. This 2ft x 2ft mat fits easily under a standing desk, in front of the sink, under the squat rack or onto of a Pilates reformer.

Neuro Ball ($30)
The Naboso Neuro ball is a triple threat of foot activation and comfort. First it acts as a massage tool releasing the muscles of your feet as you roll it around with your foot. Second, the ball is coated in our unique sensory stimulation textures that wake up and activate the nerve-dense surface of your feet. Third, the ball actually splits in two and in the center you will find an even smaller ball to help with acute muscle release on the bottom of your feet.

A total value of $195!

Balance is a multifactorial thing

Your sense of balance is the product of three systems working together: your sense of sight, your sense of touch, and your vestibular system (the inner ear). If you become more reliant on one system of balance over another, your overall balance will suffer as a result.

  • Sense of sight – Your eyes play a major role in your balance. Your brain will look at stationary objects to judge where your body is in space related to those objects. If your eyesight is changing, or you’re trying to do something at night, your sense of sight won’t be as reliable.
  • Sense of touch – Your sense of touch includes the touch through your feet on the ground or your hand on the railing and your proprioception. Proprioception is the awareness of body posture that is derived from receptors in your joints. Peripheral neuropathy or joint replacements can inhibit your sense of touch.
  • Vestibular system – Your inner ear controls your vestibular system, which helps with aspects of balance such as changing head position and the effects of gravity on the body. Both chronic and acute inner ear dysfunction can disrupt your vestibular system.

There are countless factors that will affect balance secondary to your systems of balance. Humans are not constant creatures, we tend to fluctuate from day to day. Think of your energy levels, are they consistently high or low? More likely you have some days where you feel more awake and energized than others. Balance is the same way. Being tired, suffering from allergies, and feeling stressed can all cause your balance to be less reliable.

If you feel like your balance isn’t as strong as it used to be or you’ve had a fall or near fall, join us for a free class and feel more confident in balance.
