Balance Buttons
The Balance Buttons are here! These unique pads are designed to prevent falls and improve balance by producing site-specific stimulation of cutaneous receptors located along the outer sides of your feet. Recent research shows that this precise location is loaded with different types of cutaneous receptors, all of which play a key role in maintaining balance. The outer placement also makes them important in preventing lateral falls, which are far and away the most likely to result in injury.

Testimonials
“As an athletic trainer in the NBA, the ToePro has become our favorite exercise device for increasing not just toe strength, but also horizontal jump distance. It also plays an important role in injury prevention.“
“I love my ToePro and use it every morning before I run. It helps strengthen my feet, ankles, and calves, and improves my push-off and running form. Takes just a few minutes a day and has helped keep me injury free. I even pack it when I travel!”
“Simplistic genius! The ToePro is incredibly easy to use and my athletes love it. I’m always surprised how many high-level athletes present with toe weakness, and how much they improve after using the ToePro. I wish I started using it sooner!”
“Dr. Michaud’s strengthening protocols kept me running through the toughest parts of my career. Three months after starting treatment for a spinal stress fracture, I set the world record for the marathon in Rotterdam, and the next year, I set another world record in Berlin.”
