Intuitive Medical Device Reduces Ugly Falls, Greatly Improves Balance

SAN FRANCISCO - Feb. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- It’s an alarming statistic. According to the World Health Organization, falls are the second leading cause of accidental or unintentional injury deaths worldwide. However, Dr. Ron Harwin is on a mission to change that.

“To help a patient regain the complete use of their hands, to walk without fear of falling, to move freely and confidently — this is what inspires me in my work,” explained Harwin.

After six years of dedicated research and development, the longtime healthcare professional created The Harwin Balancer, an exercise machine that promotes balance by re-activating the body’s proprioceptive sensors.

“The Balancer design came from my observation that the body learns better intuitively than through verbal instruction,” stated Harwin. “Creating a platform that allows the patient's muscular system to make micro adjustments in order to remain "balanced" was the solution.”

The inspiration for Harwin’s device came after witnessing an elderly man fall on the sidewalk nearly a decade ago.

“I realized how simple it would have been to prevent this fall,” Harwin stated. “He had lost about 15-18 percent of his ability to balance because of a chronic weakening of two muscles and one joint that appeared to have developed from a lifetime of sitting, rather than from inner ear dysfunction or earlier injuries.”

According to Harwin, when a person’s injuries results in pain, often they re-adjust how they sit or stand in order to alleviate the pain.

“Over time these very adjustments cause further strain and damage to our joints and exacerbate the problems caused by the original injuries,” warned Harwin.

The Harwin Balancer works by using a very subtle and gentle movement, allowing the small dormant muscles of balance and coordination throughout the body to re-learn the function a person has lost, so that they can walk with more stability and greater confidence.

“I have since used the balancer on 4-year-old children, 96-year-old adults, Olympic athletes and Parkinson's patients—all with positive to dramatic results,” stated Harwin.

To date, the Harwin Balancer remains a significant tool in the healing of serious injuries and debilitating neurological conditions. To learn more about how this ground-breaking product can benefit you, visit theharwinbalancer.com today.
