A miracle happened! I could actually walk fluidly and freely again. Suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years and with no real hope in sight, I was fitted with an orthotic belt with strategically placed weights. Immediately the need to think about instructing myself to put one foot in front of the other just to walk was not needed. The heavy feeling in my legs and fear of falling from my balance problem was also gone. I could again walk with less concentration on the movements required in walking.
I was very skeptical about adding weight to an already extremely fatigued and unbalanced body. But, at only 8 oz. the strategically-placed weight convinced me that miracles can and do happen. I even gave my weighted belt a name, my “Buddy Belt.”
