Balance Exercises To Prevent Falling

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com/

    Balance exercises and balance techniques are the first line of defense to prevent falling.  Unfortunately, statistics tell us that one in three senior fall every year, resulting in costly and debilitating injuries.  By practicing balance exercises every day, you can reduce the risk and incidents of falling.  One of the specific balance techniques is to focus on foot placement and a sense of touch between your feet and the floor.  When you are in a hurry however, more often than not you are focused on trying to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible.  Falls often occur when people are in a hurry. When you are rushing through the house to get to the phone as it is ringing work to get out the door for an appointment, many times you catch your toe on a rug, resulting in a trip and fall.  Additionally, if you are hurrying down the stairs, it is easy to slip on a step and fall down the remaining stairs.
