BalanceWear®, a non-invasive, pharma-free balance aid is now available in Scandinavia. BalanceWear® has been proven effective in over thirty (30) peer-reviewed scientific research and other publications including an NIH funded research project studying effectiveness in Multiple Sclerosis.
Motion Therapeutics’ BalanceWear®, a comfortable vest, is being called a revolutionary product for people living with MS, often providing immediate control for patients with balance issues. The product is non-invasive and works by accessing what Cindy Gibson-Horn, PT, the CTO and inventor of BalanceWear® calls an alternate balance mechanism.
“Each individual with balance issues has a unique balance deficit,” explains Gibson-Horn. “Once the patient’s balance dysfunction is identified, BalanceWear®, is fitted with sensory inputs placed into the vest to augment sensory information to the neural pathway to enhance balance.”

The clinic presently employs 25 therapists and treats more than 1,000 patients weekly.

We have found the ideal partner in SF Medical working with Skodsborg Fysioterapi,” says Cookston. “I found the physiotherapists at the Skodsborg Fysioterapi Clinic to be highly responsive and motivated to learn our patented BalanceWear® methodology. I have already Certified the first eight (8) therapists and they are already balancing patients!” says Gibson-Horn.
‘We are most pleased to now have BalanceWear® to help our numerous patients suffering with many forms of neurologic and orthopedic balance conditions that can finally be improved by BalanceWear®,” said Jan Ove Myklebust, Founder and Chief Therapist at the Skodsborg Fysioterapi Clinic.
