Tandem Stance Start by placing one foot in front of your other foot in a heel to toe position. Maintain your balance. Return to starting position and repeat. Attempt this exercise alternating the opposite foot in front. For an added challenge while in this stance, slowly turn your head to the left and hold for 3 seconds. Repeat by turning your head to the right, up, and down, all of which holding for 3 seconds. If feeling confidant in your balance, challenge yourself further by standing on a thick pillow or with your eyes closed. Use This Exercise To Help Improve Your Balance

“I can perform my house chores... without any neck pain or dizziness.” “As always, this place has been very good. The staff is excellent, especially Dr. Stewart. He always gets a handle on my problem. Prior to coming, I fell and hit my head when I was about to go on a cruise and had to cancel it. I had been having so much neck pain, headaches, and dizziness. I couldn’t turn my head and couldn’t do any housework. I felt nauseated all the time. With Dr. Stewart’s help, I can do the laundry now and perform my house chores. I’m able to mop the kitchen floor again, best of all, without any neck pain or dizziness. He also diagnosed my vertigo during the process of treatment and he treated me until it resolved. I would highly recommend FYZICAL Therapy and Balance Centers to all my friends.” – S. C.
