Do you ever wonder if your balance interventions are really hard? Do you question your own subjectivity during balance training?

Fear not, a balance intensity scale may be on the horizon.

Despite the scale being in initial stages of testing, the information in this podcast can help you hone objective ways to assess the difficulty of your balance interventions.
