    To help enhance safety with all standing and walking activities, older adults are encouraged to practice senior balance exercises every day to increase stability and reduce the risk of falling. Please see more information at    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now  For many of us, there are several times during the week when we are dealing with wet feet after bathing activities. In addition, many folks face the challenges of living in areas of the country where there is extensive rainfall and they need to be able to walk on slippery surfaces. For the fortunate among us, there is also the occasion of being on a fishing boat or on a cruise ship where you may have to maintain your balance on a wet deck or ramp. Since falling is such a problem and a concern among older individuals, making sure to minimize any possibility of falling is critical. The best medicine to limit the potential of a fall is to be prepared for any slippery surface before you happen upon it. The optimal way to avoid falling is to perform senior balance exercises on a regular basis to advance your stability skills and reduce the risk of falling.

Senior Balance Exercises For Fall Prevention

    Medical scientists have proven that rehearsing senior balance exercises help to increase steadiness and reduce the possibility of falling. Medical researchers have also found that practicing exercises consistently results in improved stability skills. If you only do your balance routines on a haphazard schedule, you will not see the gains that you are looking for. One example of an equilibrium routine that you can practice to avoid falling on slick surfaces involves standing with your feet in a shoulder width position. In this stance, concentrate on keeping your balance centered in the middle of your feet. By concentrating on keeping your weight centered in your feet, you will enhance the sensory input from your feet to the floor. This technique of using the sense of touch between your feet and the floor is a critical component of staying steady on slick surfaces. In addition, when you are walking or standing with wet feet in the bathroom, it is essential to take small, slow steps so you don't slip and fall.You can learn these steadiness techniques and learn how to practice specific senior balance exercises by joining in with the instruction of a knowledgeable physical therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
