  • Balance naturally declines as we age. This exercise will help active seniors maintain their independence and is a sure way to stay out of a nursing home!

    I'm in PT working on balance. The sit to stand is a good exercise. Combining it with step forward is great. Step left or right is brilliant. Thanks

    Perfect for me, standing up from my chair. Is difficult!! Glad to have this exercise, am basically learning how to walk all over again and this is great ! Thank you!!

    This is simple, effective and an excellent exercise to get into the habit of doing early while your able. I used to tell my mom the more times she gets in and out of a chair the better for her balance (I never knew why) … she’s now 93 years old and has had 23 falls so far this year.

    Loved the video, and just subscribed to the channel!
    THIS is why I am here: Recently, I started taking a Tai Chi class, and the first thing they started me on was learning to do a "tai chi walk method." I instantly learned that my balance is bad enough that I kept trying to fall over when slowly going through the motions. It was bad enough that I have withdrawn from the class, and am now trying to work specifically on balance.
    As an explaination, over the last year I have lost over 100 pounds having dropped my carbohydrate intake to 20-30 grams per day. In doing just that, I have rid myself of my hyperglycemia, my type-2 diabetes and ALL of my diabetes medications. Now it is time to work on getting my body to understand the new weight distribution, and building up the muscles and joints needed to maintain balance, so I can once again, rejoin the tai chi program.

    This exercise is also helping me with my post labyrinthectomy challenges. If I don't keep up the movements due to illness or a sedentary lifestyle, the "bobble head" feeling returns. My post op rehab was mostly head and eye movements. These round out the routines. Thank you for the exercise ideas.

    Like most physio exercises they are demonstrated by a younger fitter person and bear little resemblance to the abilities of the average 70 plus aged person. Better to use an older person that has actual balance challenges

      People who work in rehab are aware of the ability and limitations of older people. I’m 70, and I had hip replacement. I found these exercises very good. Quite easy. And she offered options to help those who aren’t as agile.

    • @matthewgolden2721
      @matthewgolden2721 Před rokem +5

      She is the therapist. Everyone should retain their ability to move, balance, and be strong into old age. Besides disease factors that cause decline. It's our responsibility to stay strong

    • @rehabhqofficial
      @rehabhqofficial  Před 5 lety +4

      steve kierstead yes, this is the perfect exercise to gaining more confidence with that first step. Start by holding on so that your legs can learn the movement. In many cases that shuffle step is just “your brain” trying to make sense of what to do next. Hope this helps!

    • @mrstevek118
      @mrstevek118 Před 5 lety +1

      I have to pause before I take that first step, so I don’t get a head rush and get dizzy. That’s why it’s not so natural when I get up from a chair

    • @rehabhqofficial
      @rehabhqofficial  Před 5 lety +1

      Oh yes, that is one scenario where you should definitely pause before taking a step.
