I also use the BalanceBelt when I\u2019m directing in the theatre,\u201d tells Guido Jonckers.<\/p>\n<p>I am retired, but I still work on a contract basis. Every year, I direct a big open-air play in Delft (the Netherlands). The Belt gives me the feeling of safety to move easier when I\u2019m working with the actors in the rehearsal studio.<\/p>\n<p>If I wouldn\u2019t wear the BalanceBelt, I would be paying much more attention to my balance, and this means that I would put my concentration at work on the line. When I rehearse outside, I have to walk on uneven ground such as grass fields, and the Belt is an absolute solution for that: I am a lot more confident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>In what ways has the BalanceBelt changed your quality of life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy wearing the Belt I am more confident in my daily life, I can engage more freely with my grandchildren and I can walk more relaxed with my wife. And I am more focused on my work.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"nectar_single_testimonial\" data-color=\"default\" data-style=\"bold\"><div class=\"inner\"> <p><span class=\"open-quote\">&#8221;<\/span>\u201cThe BalanceBelt gives me just that bit of security to be able to move more easily when I'm working with the actors. If I were not to wear it, I would have to pay much more attention to my balance.\u201d <\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p><strong>What is the difference between walking with and without the BalanceBelt?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout the Belt, I zigzag a lot when I walk. I have to concentrate very hard on walking in a straight line, which is exhausting. With the Belt, it is less of a hassle for me. The zigzagging is not completely gone, but walking is a lot easier. Also, walking in the dark \u2013 which is almost impossible without Belt\u2013 gives me less anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you recommend the BalanceBelt to someone with a balance problem?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would recommend the BalanceBelt to anyone who has severe balance problems. For me, it is a very good support.\u201d<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t<p><strong>Now thanks to the BalanceBelt, Guido Jonckers can safely walk full of confidence again.
