Balance: From the Ground Up - Online Course

Have you ever had a fall, or started to worry you might? You're not alone. Nearly half of older adults live with a real fear of falling, and the missing piece is almost always the same: nobody trains their feet. Balance From the Ground Up is the first comprehensive online course that treats your feet as the foundation of your balance, because the evidence says they are, and almost every other falls-prevention program in the world ignores them.

Support your balance before a fall makes the decision for you

If you've started avoiding stairs, uneven ground or busy footpaths because you're not sure your balance will hold, this course is for you. We've condensed over 25 years of physiotherapy experience into seven modules designed to support your strength, balance and confidence on your feet.

  • Five Reasons to Use Balance: From the Ground Up
    1. Built by a real physiotherapist expert
    2. Trains the part every program misses
    3. Designed to support your GP or physio
    4. Follow the course at your own pace
    5. Backed by a full money-back guarantee
  • How the Course Works

    The course is broken into seven modules that build on each other. You start with the evidence and your own baseline self-tests, then work through the feet, ankles, hips and core, and finish by putting it all together in real balance challenges that mirror everyday life, like turning and walking heel-to-toe.

    Everything is delivered online, so you can work through the videos at your own pace and follow the downloadable workbook alongside them. You can go back over any lesson as often as you like. Most people follow the program over eight weeks, then re-test against their own starting point.

  • Why Freestyle Feet

    Most balance programs, even the gold-standard ones, skip the one thing the research keeps pointing to: your feet. A landmark study found toe strength was the biggest difference between people who fell and people who didn't, yet almost no program trains it.

    Freestyle Feet exists to make physiotherapist-designed foot and balance care accessible to everyone, not just those who can get to a clinic every week. Balance From the Ground Up takes the same process Andrew uses with patients in person and puts it in your hands, alongside the products designed to support it.

I can stretch my toes, and actually dry between them after a shower without a fight! And I’m much more confident with my balance... So, I’m really pleased I began this course

It is clearly been designed by an expert... Be sure to watch the instructional video with the best foot intel from Andrew.

Excellent. My problem gait and associated pain was quickly confirmed and treatment plan recommended. The plan was correct and rectified my issues within weeks. An added bonus was Andrew's physio exercises which I continue to do with great results (and not just for my feet). Thanks Andrew

This is a fantastic course, thank you Andrew. I have already seen great improvement and I continue to use the exercises.

Meet your instructor…

For the past 25 years, Andrew has helped thousands of people move with more confidence.

Andrew raced as an elite athlete on Australia's National XC Ski Team. After competing at two World Championships, his athletic career came to a halt when he badly injured his foot at the Canadian National Championships.

He went to expert after expert, and nobody could properly diagnose him. If a physiotherapist and his colleagues couldn't figure it out, what hope did the average person have?

That's when he set out to understand feet properly himself. He's spent the years since helping his patients do the same, including the many who came to him worried about their balance and their risk of falling.

Balance: From the Ground Up is built from the exact process Andrew uses in his own clinic, distilled into a course you can follow at home.
