Senior Balance Exercises And Bone Loss

Senior Balance Exercises Help To Minimize Bone Loss

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

One effective way to reduce bone loss in older adults is to practice senior balance exercises and strengthening exercises on a regular basis. Understanding the mechanisms that lead to bone loss and the nutritional and mechanical interventions that assist bone remodeling can help limit the potential for osteoporosis due to bone loss. Normal bone contains an abundance of cells that are active throughout our lives. Bone growth and bone remodeling continue on in an active process throughout our life span. Collagen is the basis for much of the strength of a bone. Additionally, collagen provides a framework on which minerals are deposited. Bone is a storage site for calcium and calcium is involved in the formation and remodeling of bone. Furthermore, physical stress that is placed on bone during walking and other weight bearing exercises also stimulates an increase in bone formation. Consequently, having good nutrition that includes calcium and appropriate mechanical stress on the skeletal system provided by exercise is essential to minimize bone loss for older adults. By practicing senior balance exercises every day an aging individual can safely exercise and maintain good bone health that is needed to diminish both the risk of falling and the potential for fractures.

Practicing senior balance exercises on a daily basis can help you maintain good stability and good bone health. Performing equilibrium routines develops strong and speedy balance reactions at the ankles, which is essential for adapting to different walking surfaces. Additionally, by rehearsing weight shifting exercises an individual is able to control their body weight while performing different movements including getting up from a chair, turning in the bathroom or kitchen, turning their head while walking or other movement combinations. Performing stability exercises helps to build a strong foundation for steadiness, which enables an individual to safely add other exercise routines like walking or lifting weights. Don't be overwhelmed with the thought of having to workout at the gym. You can practice a senior balance exercise program developed by an experienced physical therapist in the convenience of your own home with the Exercise For Balance DVD.
