  Paget's disease is a condition which effects ones bones and practicing senior balance exercises  to avoid falls is critical. Please see http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Paget's disease of bone disrupts your body's normal bone recycling process, in which old bone tissue is gradually replaced with new bone tissue. Over time, the affected bones may become fragile and misshapen. Paget's disease of bone most commonly occurs in the pelvis, skull, spine and legs. The risk of Paget's disease of bone increases with age. Your risk also increases if any of your family members have the disorder. Complications of Paget's disease of bone can include broken bones, hearing loss and pinched nerves in your spine, decreased balance and immobility.  The disease may affect only one or two areas of your body or may be widespread. Your signs and symptoms, if any, will depend on the part of your body that's affected, including:

• Pelvis. Paget's disease of bone in the pelvis can cause hip pain.

• Skull. An overgrowth of bone in the skull can cause hearing loss or headaches.

• Spine. If your spine is affected, nerve roots can become compressed. This can cause pain, tingling and numbness in an arm or leg.

• Leg. As the bones weaken, they may bend — causing you to become bowlegged. Enlarged and misshapen bones in your legs can put extra stress on nearby joints, which may cause wear-and-tear arthritis in your knee or hip.

      For those individuals who suffer with Paget's Disease, performing senior balance exercises on a regular basis is imperative to limit the possibility of a fall and a fracture from weakened bones.

Senior Balance Exercises To Avoid Falls

   For those with Paget's Disease, the first step to improve mobility and balance and to minimize the potential of falling is to rehearse certain balance  senior balance exercises  every day. Since Paget's Disease involves changes in the bones and can lead to fractures, it is essential that those people with Paget's Disease avoid falls at all costs. The best way to reduce the possibility of falling is to perform equilibrium routines that enhance steadiness. One such stability routine is to stand with your feet shoulder width a part and slowly rock forwards and backwards so you control how your body weight shifts. Controlling your moving body weight is one of the first steps to building better balance.
