Improve Safety With Balance Exercises

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

     Balance exercises are critical to perform on a daily basis for individuals to struggle with balance problems from general aging, medical clinicians or orthopedic issues.  For people who suffered with secondary balance issues, being aware of certain safety tips can be the first step towards improving balance and reducing the risk and incidence of falling.  Fall prevention has a huge emphasis in all medical facilities including hospitals, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.  Fall prevention techniques and safety tips can include:

-Being aware of your environment: Pay attention to any changes in the flooring surface, such as a transition from tile to carpeting where you could touch your toes and fall.  Look for signs of liquid on the floor, which could cause you to slip and fall.

-Don't be in a hurry: If the phone is ringing or someone is at the front door, do not rush to answer them.  Many times falls occur because individuals are hurrying for some reason, which causes them to be off-balance and increases the fall risk.

-Be humble: Know your balance abilities and deficits.  Think through your movement activities before hand to recognize if the activity will be too difficult for you and create a greater likelihood before falling.

-When trouble comes, always engage your balance techniques: There are specific balance strategies that will enhance your balance abilities, but they need to be practiced ahead of time to become second nature during challenging movement activities.
