  Since older adults tend to fall more frequently at home, medical providers suggest they follow certain strategies to limit the possibility of a fall, including starting a program of  senior balance exercises. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Lately, medical researchers have been publishing data which details how many times senior citizens fall at home. Those numbers come out to about twenty million senior citizens falling every year, with a fall rate of about one in three. Researchers as well as healthcare professionals have tracked that the number of falls are higher in the home for older individuals. With that in mind, medical workers have complied a list of safety tips for those in the aging population to follow at home. Some of those safety tips include:

-Wear sturdy, supportive shoes ( not slippers that can easily cause an older person to catch their toe and fall)

-Wear adequate glasses as necessary to provide maximal visa input

-Remove all clutter from the floor including clothes, magazines, shoes, groceries, dog toys, grandkids' toys

-Practice senior balance exercises  to develop excellent stability to navigate in small spaces like the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom

Be  Safe At Home With Senior Balance Exercises

  One of the best ways to enhance your safety at home and minimize the risk of falling at home is to make a program of  senior balance exercises part of your daily routine. Just like brushing our teeth, we need to rehearse certain stability routines on a daily basis to build needed strength in the legs and ankles, speed up the balance reactions and maximize the sensory input from our feet to the balance center in the brain. Practicing equilibrium routines every day will help to accomplish those goals, resulting in improved steadiness, reduced risk of falling and safe living at home. To make learning senior balance exercises easier, there is now  the Exercise For Balance DVD, developed by a knowledgeable Physical Therapist and made for your to use in the comfort of your own home.
