 Balance Exercises For Dizziness Derived From Medications

By practicing balance techniques and balance exercises, you can prepare yourself for those times and situations when you feel lightheaded, dizzy or off balance secondary to the effects of medication. One of the components of stability strategies is to concentrate on the sense of touch between your feet and the floor. By focusing on that sensory input from your feet and ankles, you will be able to enhance the  connections to the balance system in the brain, resulting in increased steadiness and a diminished risk for falling. Additionally, by performing equilibrium routines on a consistent basis, you will be able to develop strong balance reactions at the feet and ankles, and increase speed and strength of contractions in the necessary muscles in the lower legs that help with balance and enhance proper postural alignment that is beneficial in maintaining an upright position during all movements activities. You can learn these particular balance techniques and balance exercises put together by a knowledgeable Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD. Additionally, if you suffer from symptoms of vertigo secondary to reactions from medication, it is always recommended to talk to your doctor about those side effects.
