Postural Changes And Senior Balance Exercises

    As we age, most of us experience postural changes that can create problems with balance, which can be helped by practicing senior balance exercises on a regular basis. Please see     http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now On the other hand, optimal posture, which leads to biomechanically well-balanced alignment of body parts, enables upright positioning to be maintained, allowing for efficient movement, low energy expenditure and minimal stress on joints and muscles and good balance. In an appropriate upright posture, muscles are able to perform in their best functional range, producing excellent force production. Additionally, good posture enables joints to glide appropriately and not develop conditions like arthritis or stenosis. Poor posture, however, can lead to imbalance, immobility, tight muscles on one side of a joint creating cartilage degradation. The first step towards better posture begins with maximizing your stability through steadiness techniques and senior balance exercises to be able to adopt a long term upright position.

Senior Balance Exercises For Good Alignment

       senior balance exercises can be the first step towards better posture and improved stability with movement activities. One of the basic steadiness techniques that can be practiced as an equilibrium and postural exercise involves standing with your feet at a shoulder width a part distance and centering your body weight in the middle of the base of support established by your foot placement. In this position, you can concentrate on your body weight in the middle of your feet as an anchor point to provide feedback to the balance center in your brain. this heightened sense of awareness of the placement of your body weight will not only place you in a good postural alignment, but it will also improve your stability with all standing and walking activities. You can learn this stability technique as well as a step by step program of senior balance exercises by following along with the Exercise For Balance DVD, developed by an experienced Physical Therapist.
