Exercise Counseling And Senior Balance Exercises

 Prescription Of Senior Balance Exercises

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

    Just like medication prescriptions and food recommendations, physicians are beginning to encourage older adults to partake in senior balance exercises on a daily basis as a way to minimize the possibility of falling and hurting themselves in a fall. More and more healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses, physical therapists and
occupational therapists are seeing exercise as medicine. Physicians are trying to incorporate exercise counseling into their appointment time with those individuals in the aging population. Medical providers are recognizing that research points to the decline in health of senior citizens with inactivity. On the other hand, research has determined
that there are significant benefits of improved mobility and independence for older adults who regularly participate in a fitness program. To be more specific, research studies have shown that older adults who perform specific senior balance exercises on a regular basis are less likely to fall and sustain a life altering injury.  Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now

Prescribing Senior Balance Exercises

  In general, healthcare providers recommend that those folks in the  aging population partake in a senior balance exercise program every day  to enhance stability and promote fall prevention. Balance training
should proceed in a step by step fashion, beginning with simple  steadiness routines like standing with feet shoulder width a part and  centering the body weight in the middle of the base of support outlined
by the feet. Once the person feels comfortable with maintaining their  body weight in the middle of their feet, then they can progress to a  more difficult stability exercise where they are standing on one foot ( hold on to a counter to get started). In this single leg standing  position, the base of support is much smaller and will challenge one's  balance significantly. For practical guidance and a step by step progression of senior balance  exercises, follow the instruction of a knowledgeable Physical Therapist  in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
