Power Balance is a unique brand of wristband that was produced with a rubber band with a holographic sticker applied. The idea behind the device was that it would provide energy and good balance to anyone who wore it using hologram therapy, which is part of energy medicine. Particularly this therapy is utilized to enhance athletic performance.

The hologram therapy has grown in popularity as alternative holistic medical techniques have taken hold. Individuals who wear them fervently believe that they're receiving special powers from the holistic, spiritual therapy. The practice has triggered concern with many governments regarding truth in marketing and advertising. They've required that tests be run to back up the claims, otherwise fines would be levied against the maker.

The controversy over Power Balance wristbands increased as more and more popular athletes became proponents. In 2010, tests were run throughout the Olympics employing a double blind test to find out if the holograms were actually providing special energy and stability that would help the performance of the athletes. On two of the bands, the sticker was removed and all bands were taped so nobody might know which ones contained the holograms.


The tests were definitive in that none of the players wearing the hologram products was able to improve their overall performance anymore than those that were putting on the bands which had the stickers removed. In Australia, the buyer protection commission required Power Balance to issue a statement admitting they had supplied misleading information regarding the performance enhancement abilities.

While the tests proved conclusive to skeptics that simply wearing holographic items would not enhance a person’s performance, the issue remains a hot topic since the idea behind the devices are related to an individual’s spiritual beliefs.

There were tests done regarding player improving performance as well, with results that demonstrated that hard work was the reason behind the enhanced levels of overall performance. Since the tests were created to test if the hologram itself provided the performance, a disagreement can be created that the tests were skewed against the Power Balance wristband because it wasn't tested by spiritual believers. As in tests of the power of prayer, the results often show improvements because those involved trust the activity and its power.


The issue of the PowerBalance and hologram treatment therapy is sure to remain marked by controversy, particularly since many high profile triathletes and famous people wear holographic jewelry very publicly. The problem over promoting as a unit that could make improvements to durability, flexibility and steadiness is apparently resolved for now.

There are 2 fundamental ideologies, those that think and those that do not. Even though this type of renewable energy treatment therapy is often viewed as on the edge, there must be something to it since so many people subscribe to its power and freely admit to wearing the jewelry for the therapeutic purposes.
