Balance

American Physical Therapy Association, Fit After 50

Tip of the Day: “Balance is very important to maintain as we age. One must be stable before one is mobile!” – Holly G., PT, DPT, from Wyoming.

Balance requires a combination of good muscle strength, flexibility, vision, and vestibular (inner ear) function.

To improve your balance try the following:

• strength training
• coordination/functional exercises
• vision/vestibular evaluation
