  • “I am 80 years-old and was having  5- 10 falls a week before I discovered Balanced Foundations. The course was easy to use and learn from. Doug’s explanations were perfect. I have been doing this for 4 weeks and I am already seeing a difference in my walking. The best part is I haven’t fallen in a week

  • “Thank you! This course has been a lifesaver. I had stopped walking out of my home because my balance was so bad! I couldn’t even go shopping for food. 6 weeks into the program I feel stable again. I was able to return to driving and getting around town. This is the best course I have ever seen for seniors like myself.”“ I am a 76 Year-old stroke survivor. After physical therapy and rehab, I was still unable to walk safely and I felt my independence was gone. Balanced foundations gave me my life back. The in-depth explanations of how and why I lost my balance and the balance-challenging exercises worked! I saw an improvement in the first week. By week 8 I was walking better than I have since my stroke

  • I was walking 5 days a week and going to the gym, but I could tell my balance was getting worse each year. Balanced Foundations was the missing link in my exercise routine. In just 15 minutes a day, I saw a tremendous improvement in the first month. I am never going to stop doing this program
