Balance Exercises Limit Falls Secondary To Reaching

Balance Exercises Help Limit Falls From Reaching

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

Practicing balance exercises is an effective way to reduce falls and  the injuries that occur with falling. You have probably heard stories  from a parent, uncle, neighbor or friend who was sitting in their recliner or couch and they leaned forward to get something off the  coffee table and ended up on the floor before they knew it. Maybe you  have heard a tale like the one my patient told me, who reached up in her cabinet in the bathroom for a pill bottle and she just kept going,  right on over on her back side. She earned quite a bump on the back or  her head, but the real damage was how much it shook up her confidence.  Sadly, these stories of falling secondary to reaching for something are  very common. The good news is that by learning some very important  balance principles and by practicing balance exercises, you can limit  your exposure to such falls.

 Balance Exercises Reduce The Incidence Of Falling

   By performing balance exercises on a consistent basis, you can improve your balance abilities and greatly reduce your risk for falling. One of  the keys for increasing your steadiness is to employ specific balance techniques with sitting, standing, walking and all movement activities. One such stability strategy is to learn how to center your weight over your base of support, whether you are sitting, standing or walking. Additionally, you can rehearse equilibrium routines on a consistent basis to help increase balance abilities. One such stability exercise is to start with your body weight centered in your base of support and then control shifting your weight forwards, backwards and side to side. You can perform this skill in sitting or on your feet. By practicing controlling your body weight, you will limit the potential to lean forwards or backwards and keep going all the way to the floor. You can learn certain balance techniques and balance exercises to practice every day at home with the Exercise For Balance DVD. This DVD was developed by a knowledgeable physical therapist to enable you to practice these techniques at home and not have to travel to a therapy clinic or pay a copay with each visit.
