Mental and Physical Balance Staying active refers to the amount of activity that you engage in daily. For example, how much time you spend at the gym, how many steps you take in a day, how often you find yourself running around the office, or how frequently you head out to the backyard to run around with your children or your dog.

There also can be a perception that working a 10 hour day is necessary to demonstrate a strong work ethic and get ahead. This pace can lead to stress, burnout, and not living a healthy and balanced life. Ignoring your mental and physical well-being will eventually catch up to you and start to take its toll on your health. Specific signs and symptoms that typically indicate trouble with maintaining balance includes frequently tripping and falling or feeling dizzy when standing too long. But even if you are not having fundamental issues with your ability to stay balanced in this way, you may still have difficulty with whole-body balance. You can improve your physical balance by: • Increasing muscle strength • Improving stamina • Improving core strength • Practicing balancing techniques This is where our team of therapists can help. We are experts at identifying the root cause of your problem and offering simple solutions to resolve them. 5 Ways Physical Therapy Can Help You Keep Your Balance Here are five steps to help you become physically and mentally healthy while bringing more balance into your life. 1 Exercise. Physical activity has been shown to help clear the mind, improve self-worth, and reduce depressive and anxious feelings. The key is to find the right type of exercise for you – which is precisely what our therapists can help you find! 2 Sleep. Sleep quality is an essential predictor of mental health and well-being. Following a healthy bedtime routine could make you feel happier and calmer and be better focused throughout the day. 3 Nutrition. Cut down on sugary foods and replace them with nutrient-rich foods like fish, veggies, and foods that have healthy fats. Proper nutrition has been shown to improve physical and mental well-being. 4 Community and Relationships. Whether the support comes from family, a partner, friends, coworkers, or even pets, feeling connected to those around you can increase a sense of purpose and love in your life. 5 Relaxation and Recreation. In our busy lives, it can be easy to forget about the hobbies you used to love. PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH 5 STEPS TO BETTER
