Stand & Walk Again With Confidence And A Sure Step
Many factors can contribute to balance and stability problems. • Age-related decline in muscle strength, flexibility, and reaction time plays a significant role. • Inner ear problems, neurological conditions like stroke or Parkinson’s disease, vision problems, and even certain medications can also affect our balance. • A sedentary lifestyle, previous falls, and certain medical conditions can further increase your risk. If you’re experiencing symptoms like feeling unsteady or dizzy, frequent falls or near falls, difficulty walking or turning, or needing to use furniture or walls for support, it’s time to take action.
Do you ever feel unsteady on your feet? Have you noticed it’s getting harder to navigate stairs or uneven surfaces? Maybe you’ve even had a close call or two, and now you’re worried about falling. These are common concerns as we age, but they don’t have to be an inevitable part of getting older. Why Do We Need Balance And Stability? Balance is your ability to maintain your center of gravity over your base of support – basically, staying upright! Stability, on the other hand, is your ability to resist forces that threaten to disrupt that balance, like a bump in the sidewalk or a playful nudge from a grandchild.
