In its 1st year of existence the Balance Performance online shop has provided hundreds of clients with effective products that offer independence and the degree of control necessary for them to make sustained recoveries, see physical developments and so improve performance. Our customers have been drawn to our specialist physio shop after getting injured or searching specifically for brands recognized for quality and effectiveness. There is nothing sold from the online store that we don’t use and recommend from our London, UK facility. What’s more not only does Balance Performance distribute and sell recognized industry leading items we are at the forefront in Europe to teach effective use of these key tools too.

Effective use of the Trigger Point Performance kit and the Grid foam roller is taught weekly at Balance with regular more detailed workshops in the diary. We continue to work directly with Cassidy Phillips and TPT in Austin Texas to hone our skills as we share their passion for "empowering you to take care of yourself and achieve goals you never thought possible." To understand the depth of Trigger Point Performance Therapy’s commitment to education go to their website and browse through their educational resources.

Strength, conditioning, kettlebells and bands

Balance Performance were the first sports injury and back pain facility in UK, and probably Europe, to not only use kettlebells for sport and fitness but also to rehabilitate shoulder, back, pelvis and hip injuries. Now Jonathan Lewis is director of the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation in the UK/Europe which delivers one of the world’s few high quality certification programmes, the CKT. We also represent world renowned teacher Steve Cotter and distributes his books and DVD products. Although we like kettlebells we equally like to recommend the most effective equipment to suit an individuals requirements and situation. To this end we have Lifeline USA and Santana resistance bands and equipment and sell the Josh Henkin Ultimate Sandbag System (Jonathan is “LIFT” Certified by Josh). Of course we are also known for our use of bodyweight drills to flow, restore and seriously challenge every physical parameter and have yoga and bodyweight conditioning training DVDs to recommend before we begin producing our own.

Sports Injury and back pain first aid –RICEM

Our aim is for all of our London clients to understand that what Balance offers is a long term solution to physical pain and injury. We know our clients prosper most when they allow us to share with them the knowledge we have to become independent of the need for physiotherapy, osteopathic and chiropractic input for avoidable situations. Our long term plan is for a client to have the ability and confidence to avoid unnecessary hours, weeks and months spent receiving passive treatment for situations that could have been self-managed. Its not an easy process but the appropriate knowledge with the right product can make all the difference. In our Sports injury and back pain section we have been adding the tools we like to encourage our clients to use for initial first aid and/or to supplement their treatment if they need it .
