     Since vision is one of the main components of balance, it is essential to perform eye exercises as well as senior balance exercises every day. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Our ability to balance comes from a complicated system that connects our body and brain. The brain receives input from our eyes, inner ear vestibular system and sense of touch from our feet. The brain integrates all that information and sends appropriate signals to our muscles that help to maintain an upright position with all movement activities. Unfortunately, the fact is that as we get older, our balance components diminish in their ability to receive and process information. Consequently, in our later years, many of us face symptoms of unsteadiness, lightheadedness and dizziness. Those symptoms can be improved by a daily dose of exercises that include senior balance exercises as well as specific eye exercises.

Senior Balance Exercises And Eye Exercises

     Since vision is critical for our steadiness, all older adults should practice eye exercises with their senior balance exercises on a regular basis. There are some easy eye exercises that can be rehearsed every day in the convenience of your own home. For instance, to help you with a visual procedure called tracking, you can hold your thumb out at arm's length and move your thumb slowly side to side , then up and down for one minute in each direction. By performing this eye exercise, you will help build your visual ability to smoothly track objects as they pass through your visual field. additionally, in Physical Therapy, we often say that you go where your eyes go. To be specific, wherever you look, your body will follow. Consequently, if you get into the habit of looking down, you are at a greater risk of losing your balance forwards and falling forwards. Therefore, it is essential to practice looking up, straight ahead. By having your eyes fixed on a point that maintains your head in a level position, you will substantially enhance your stability and reduce your potential for falling forwards. You can learn these specific stability strategies and specific senior balance exercises by participating with the Exercise For Balance DVD in the convenience of your own home.
