💙Posture Tip: There’s no perfect "one size fits all" posture, but maintaining flexibility within your shape and changing your position regularly will keep you functioning optimally within your personal shape and form.

⚖️Working on your balance is essential for staying active and steady, especially as you age. It reduces the risk of falls and injuries, enabling you to move with confidence and fully enjoy life. Balance training also strengthens your core muscles and enhances coordination between your joints and muscles, providing stability and support for everyday movement.

💙Balance is a full body exercise that involves not just your muscles and joints, but also your vestibular system in your inner ear. By working on your balance you are training your entire body and that inner sense of stability to keep you steady and confident.
As we age, the number of vestibular cells that support balance naturally declines, increasing the risk of falls, particularly after the age of 40. Focusing on balance exercises can help to counteract this decline and keep you more secure on your feet.
Here 1 simple exercise to help you improve your balance:
👉Tip toe Walking: Walk forward and backward on your tiptoes. This simple exercise helps strengthen the muscles in your feet and ankles, improving balance and stability.
👉Stand on one leg while cleaning your teeth.
💙If you ‘d like more tailored guidance on improving your balance, feel free to contact us. We are here to help you stay steady and confident at any stage of life.
