Many ankle, knee, hip and back injuries in running, tennis and other sports are attributed to poorly performing balance.

How you walk directly impacts your back and can actually be a big contributor to back pain. By improving balance, coordination and strength in your hips, pelvis and legs, your spine will be supported and guided, reducing strain. This in turn, helps your back function normally without aggravation and inflammation.Balanceactivitiesare an important component of our SPINE Program for relieving back pain. 3. You Can Prevent Falls. According to the Centers For Disease Control (CDC), over 2.5 million adults
were treated for nonfatal injuries in emergency departments in 2013. In older adults, falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries. Most people don’t think about keeping their balance in shape, until it is too late and they fall, fracturing an arm, leg or injuring their back. The good news is that most falls can easily be prevented, simply by the regular exercising of your balance system. 4. You Can Improve Your Balance. Improving your balance involves performing simple balance exercises. The first step in preventing an injury or fall is testing your balance and being honest with yourself that your balance needs work. Our physical therapists can make a big difference in improving your balance and vestibular system, improving your ability to be active, safely.

TANDEM WALK - WALL Stand comfortably next to a wall with the fingertips of one hand resting upon the wall for support. Place your feet ‘heel to toe’ with one foot in front of the other. Step forward by moving the back foot into front position, with the heel touching your other foot’s toes. Repeat this sequence with alternating feet as you move forward down the hallway. If you feel stable enough, try to reverse your direction and move backward down the hallway.
The best birthday I ever had and why? Myhusbandgavemeasurprisebirthday party at an ice skating rink.
The coolest natural wonder I’ve ever seen? CinqueTerre has these stunning natural cliffs along the Italian Riviera coastline.. The one item I would take to a desert island? Definitely need a machete wrapped in a hammock (ok I know that’s two items). The most fun road trip I’ve ever taken, where and with whom? Can’t top the road trip I took with my stepdad driving me in my post-college move fromWisconsin to Philly, when I read him “The Horse and His Boy” by C.S. Lewis.
