  Many times older individuals live amidst clutter and disorganization that can cause falls and which can be reduced through simple safety tips and daily  practicing  senior balance exercises. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now A common situation happens to many adult children and caregivers and you may recognize this situation. You go to visit your mother and you notice unpaid pills, dishes not washed, with magazines, shoes and clothes scattered on the floor. Additionally, you see a pile of unopened mail and loose pills on the kitchen and bathroom counters. You ask your mother “What is going on here, why aren’t you opening your mail? Your mother does not really see that there is a problem. You know there is a problem with the lack of organization, clutter that can cause tripping and falling and daily tasks not being tended to for your loved one. Many seniors have difficulties with organizing their environment for several reasons including physical and mental health illnesses, difficulties with vision, imbalance and lessened physical mobility. Many times they do not see it as an issue because they adapt their lifestyle to their environment. For example, if clutter piles up in the living room on a chair or even on the floor, the senior may start to use the clutter as a handrail as she moves through the room. Most people would see this situation as a safety hazard, but your mother may look at the clutter as a useful handrail. In regards to being steady on her feet and dealing with clutter and potential hazards to trip on, there are a few important concepts that you can communicate to your Mother. Two essential ideas include safety tips to remove clutter and participating in a senior balance exercise program to re-establish adequate steadiness.

Senior Balance Exercises To Be Safe In The Home

    For older adults to live safely in the home, it is critical to combine certain safety tips with a daily routine of senior balance exercises. Some of the safety tips presented in the professionally filmed  Exercise For Balance DVD include removing all clutter and throw rugs from the floor to minimize the possibility of catching your toe, tripping and falling. Additionally, equilibrium routines to rehearse to build stability can include standing in a tandem stance position ( near a sink or counter if you need to hang on) where one foot is directly behind and in line with the other foot. In this tandem position, you will challenge your balance strategies and establish enhanced steadiness for all movement activities. You can find additional senior balance exercises and safety tips in the Exercise For Balance DVD, which was developed by a qualified Physical Therapist.
