Senior Balance Exercises Make Functional Activities Safe

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

There are activities that we do every day that can involve the risk of falling unless we make a point of practicing senior balance exercises to improve steadiness and functionality. Every day we all face routines that necessitate having good balance to limit the risk and incidence of falling. These daily functional activities and include:

-Leaning over to brush ones teeth

-Reaching up into a cupboard in the kitchen

-Reaching down into the cabinet in the bathroom

-Going up and down stairs

-Getting up from a chair or the bed

-Getting laundry in and out of the washing machine

-Getting dishes in and out of the dishwasher

All these activities and more require steadiness, control of one's body weight, the ability to shift smoothly and slowly around the ankles and good lower leg strength to limit the potential of falling.   Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now

How To Be Safe In The Home With Senior Balance Exercises

By practicing senior balance exercises on a daily basis, you can noticeably enhance your balance abilities to stay upright and safe with all functional activities in the home. For example, when leaning over to brush your teeth or for reaching up into a cupboard, you need to rehearse stability exercises that involve finding your center balance point in your feet and then controlling shifting your body weight forwards and backwards to your ankles. Additionally, for going up and down stairs safely, you need to be able to stand on one foot with static balance and move the other foot dynamically up or down with equally good steadiness. These balance techniques of controlling weight shifting, finding your center balance point, practicing static and dynamic stability are found in the professionally developed Exercise For Balance DVD, which you can follow along with in the comfort of your own home.
