I love the practical information you provide, especially those we can do at home. For the last several years I have had difficulty finding slippers to wear at home that have the feel of being barefoot. The best I can find are "slipper socks," which keep my feet warm in cool weather. I also recently got a (low-end) vibration platform, which has significantly improved my balance - and feels great, too. I continue to enjoy your videos like this and learn so much, especially about posture. Thank you. Namaste

[@painfixprotocol]

Thank you for your kind words, Deborah! I'm so glad this information has made a positive impact in your life!

[@Candleflower42]

Yoni do socks take away from receiving the sensory input? I ask because I would think so, and yet you mention the minimalist shoes also being good? Thanks.

[@painfixprotocol]

Great question! Socks are one more layer between your feet and ground. More layers/cushioning leads to reduced sensation. For balance, sensation in the feet is crucial and that's why minimalist shoes are a fantastic option when compared to traditional shoes (with thick foam soles, elevated heels and narrow toe boxes).

[@tamichildofGod8249]

These are great strategies. I have the weighted forehead device he mentions and it definitely helps. When I am weight training I will also occasionally when doing a set. For example of bicep curls do half of their upstanding on one foot and then switch to the other foot. Little things help

[@painfixprotocol]

Cheers Tami! Thanks for sharing!

[@extendprogram]

Tami how much does this thing weigh? Is ALL the weight at the front or is it distributed around the entire device? Tia

[@tamichildofGod8249]

@@extendprogram I believe it comes in different sizes. The one I got is 2 lb and all the weight is in the front. I can tell you times I've had attention headache. This is definitely helped with that

What if somebody is already stuck in a hunch back position? In addition to the head forward posture.

[@painfixprotocol]

Great question, Sandra! The most important factor in correcting a "hunch back" posture is normalizing head & neck position. There's lots of information in my Posture Playlist that deals with that very issue: kzbin.info/aero/PL1rO7vW04HUA-MztSrT-J3y7wf4Ye9xyL

[@debp7849]

Will you either post a video on how to use the active traction device or direct me to a video you've previously created. I have the device but don't really know if I'm using it correctly. Thanks!!

[@painfixprotocol]

Hi Deb, This video talks more about it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXKpfpZur9yXj9k But, there should've been a green card included with your ATU directing you to the User's Guide. Have you had a chance to go through the guide?

[@debp7849]

@@painfixprotocol thanks for the attached video. I don't remember getting the user guide but I'll hunt around for it. It's been a while since I received it. If I can't find it, I'll send a message to your website. Thanks!

I have balance issues. I will try this. Also really hot doctor.❤❤❤❤❤

Can anyone recommend a good brand of bare-foot shoes?

[@painfixprotocol]

Here are my two favorites: ~ XERO SHOES: xeroshoes.com/go/PainFixProtocol ~ LEMS SHOES: alnk.to/4XuVOWu

Yoni I’m going on 71 and balance is becoming quite bad. Just yesterday when working in the yard, having to be so careful, I was thinking that’s it’s probably good for me though (if can just keep from falling) because would think I’m challenging it. Is this right, even though shoes are on or am I just risking a fall? I can’t go barefoot long due to old foot operation but do you know where one could get various density’s of foam? Foam toppers for beds are quite expensive so wondering if there are any balance websites that sell just for this purpose? Thanks!

[@painfixprotocol]

Great question, Candleflower! Continuing to move, exercise and stay active is absolutely crucial and shows huge benefts for fall prevention However, it's also important to take practical steps to protect ourselves - communication, having family or friends close by, using mobility aids when necessary, etc. Here are some options for foam: amzn.to/3XhtJbY amzn.to/3VwhTto amzn.to/3KAVfd2 - these are stackable amzn.to/3Xhu7qW - high density - closed cell foam

[@Candleflower42]

@@painfixprotocol thanks Yoni I’ll keep at it then. I have a hole in my ear (superior canal Dehiscense) which is 2.9mm so not huge but not small. I asked surgeon (who doesn’t want to operate yet as testing was mostly good) if he thought it was old age or the hole and he thought probably a little bit of both. I’ll definitely get that head deal and the foam. Thanks for the reminder of communication as I’ve already gotten lax about that. When broke my femur had no phone on me thankfully was on a walk and folks ran out but I absolutely could not move so had I been in the house it would have been a very bad situation. Thanks again for sharing so much of your knowledge!

No mobility without stability, No stability without mobility!

[@painfixprotocol]

Yes, good point! Mobility and stability are closely related.

What about Groundin

[@painfixprotocol]

There's lots of really interesting research on grounding, but I haven't seen anything that relates specifically to balance.

as a diabetic not safe to be barefoot

[@painfixprotocol]

Good point, Dorothy. Minimalist shoes that provide lots of sensory input while still protecting the feet are a great option in these situations.
