Balance Exercises



Balance exercises: Balance happens in the brain. Scientific evidence suggests that our habitual practice of wearing shoes limits the necessary sensory feedback to our brain.
When we walk or exercise bare-footed, our brain receives many different kinds of imput especially on uneven surfaces. Shoes are relatively flat which spreads the stimulus, limiting how touch guides our foot control. As we get older we use walking sticks and frames, which further hastens the decline because we are not exercising our brain

Before you go the the EXERCISES which begin at the bottom of this page, please read the following information. It's important.


Some people look down to their feet while walking which also blocks the stimulus, because we’re not getting information from our brain to our feet and back again. We are also in this case relying on our visual stimulus. This process is called bio feedback. We need to stop looking down and carefully practice “listening to our feet” so they can re-learn to make a new improved brain map. It’s never too late to improve.

There’s a familiar saying that not only refers to one part of your anatomy, which suggests: IF YOU DONT USE IT, YOU LOSE IT. So, get cracking with some balance exercises!


These exercises can be as simple as standing barefooted on one foot. Taking your shoes off is important. So, when you’re cutting up the carrots for dinner, stand for a while on one foot. Then do so on the other foot. You’ll feel all those little muscles in your feet working well.



Once you've perfected your carrots routine, you'll be looking for something a little more challenging, this exercise on the left is excellent - and good fun! This PIC is the starting position. Progress from this position to each of the positions at the top of the page.
