Sarns, who demonstrated the T5XR said, “NuStep was pleased to have the opportunity to appear on The Balancing Act.   We were also pleased to have The Villages, a valued NuStep customer, highlighted in the multimedia piece. Kristin and her team work every day with individuals living with arthritis, motivating them to stay active to help control and prevent the pain associated with arthritis so they can enjoy their life more.”
