Simple balance practice to help prevent falls
Good balance helps you stay independent. A few simple habits make a difference.
Stand next to a kitchen counter and hold on lightly. Practice standing on one foot for a few seconds, then switch. Walk heel to toe along the counter. Many people also enjoy tai chi classes at senior centers.
Make your home safer: remove loose rugs, add night lights, and keep walkways clear. Wear shoes with good grip, even at home.
