A recent article reviewed by Dr. Zilpah Sheikh and published on WebMD outlines several effective exercises to improve balance and stability. Tai chi stands out as highly beneficial for older adults experiencing balance issues. You might also find the one-legged stand, weight shifts, and heel-to-toe walk useful, all focusing on enhancing stability.
Core-strengthening exercises like yoga and Pilates come highly recommended, and it is advised to start with a certified instructor to get the most out of your practice. Exercises such as:
- Back-leg raises
- Knee curls
- Toe stands
- Squats
- Side steps
- Back extensions
also play a crucial role in strengthening essential muscles for maintaining balance. Regular practice will improve balance and reduce the risk of falls over time.
