We are a Canadian healthcare company that strives to prevent falls and improve balance for millions through accessible innovation and cutting-edge scientific research.

Background
BalancePro insole was jointly designed and developed by researchers at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, University of Toronto and Wilfrid Laurier University, with support from the Canadian Institutes of Health and the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
BalancePro features a specially designed ridge around its perimeter to stimulate and enhance foot plantar-surface (sole) sensation and therefore, enhance one's balance and reduce possibility of falls. Such stimulation and enhancement have been clinically-proven to be effective for older adults and individuals with Parkinson's.
