HOW IS YOUR BALANCE? HAVE YOU CHECKED IT LATELY?
Poor balance and coordination is the number one cause of trips, falls, and injuries. It even greatly affects back pain and posture. You don’t have to be old to have non-optimum balance. In fact, a majority of sports injuries are attributed to not having the right balance reflexes needed to adapt to the surface, causing sprains, strains and other injuries.
Our balance and vestibular system gives us the ability to walk on two legs, run and be active. Our balance and vestibular system develop as we grow from a baby all the way through adulthood, and then begins to decline. Most people don’t know their balance is not optimum until they suffer a sports injury, trip and fall, or lose their balance in the shower. Nomatter what
your age, balance affects your ability to be active. We welcome you to schedule a visit with us for a more complete evaluation. Give Rehab Access Physical Therapy a call today to talk with your therapist.
EXERCISE ESSENTIAL
Lie flat on your stomach on the bed or floor. If you are unable to lie flat, initially put a pillow under your stomach and gradually try to remove it. This will keep your spine neutral andmay alleviate your sharp pain. Once you can tolerate this position, lie with your elbows under your shoulders to get some extension in your spine. Hold here for 3-5 minutes. Do this several times a day.
