Balance Training: Use It or Lose It

Balance is like any other skill—it requires practice to maintain and improve. Challenging your balance with simple exercises can make a real difference in preventing falls.

Simple Balance Exercises to Try
Start with these basics, using a sturdy chair or counter for support if needed:
1. Single-leg stands: Hold for 10-30 seconds on each foot
2. Eyes-closed standing: Stand with feet together, eyes closed for 10-15 seconds
3. Chair rises: Get up from a chair without using your hands
4. Heel-to-toe walking: Walk in a straight line, placing one foot directly in front of the other

Important: Always have something sturdy nearby to grab if you feel unsteady, and stop if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable.

Feeling unsteady or worried after a fall? It might be time to see a physical therapist.

A PT can:
✅ Assess your balance and strength
✅ Create a personalized exercise program
✅ Teach you strategies to stay safe and confident
✅ Work with your doctor or pharmacist on vision or medication concerns

Don’t wait to get the support you need to stay strong and steady! 💪

Your legs are your foundation for balance. As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass without resistance training. Combat this with walking, water exercises, squats, or resistance bands. Strong legs = better stability = fewer falls.

That "no pain, no gain" mentality is outdated and dangerous for young athletes. Sharp pain or pain that doesn't go away is your child's body asking for help. Teaching kids to listen to their bodies now prevents bigger problems later. Learn more about training to prevent injuries from a doctor of physical therapy. Call for an evaluation: 586-991-1399

Starting sports conditioning the day
before tryouts? That's a recipe for injury. Young bodies
need 4-6 weeks to adapt to increased demands. Early
preparation isn't just smart - it could save your child's
season. Get more injury-prevention tips and training at
