What is inside this guide
This one-page guide collects simple balance moves you can practice at home. It is made to be printed and put somewhere you will see it, like the kitchen, so it reminds you to practice a little each day.
Who this guide is for
It is for seniors who want to feel steadier on their feet, and for family members looking for a simple, safe place to start.
How to use it
Stand next to a sturdy counter or chair and hold on lightly. Practice a few minutes each day. Make a move harder only when it feels easy.
Safety first
This guide is for general wellness and is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have pain, dizziness, heart problems or other health conditions. Stop if something hurts.
Common questions
Is it safe to practice balance alone?
Always hold on to something sturdy and have a chair behind you. If you are at high risk of falling, practice with someone nearby.
How often should I do it?
A few minutes most days works better than one long session.
Will it prevent falls?
It can help you feel steadier, but it cannot guarantee you will not fall. Ask your doctor about fall risk.
