FEELING A BIT UNBALANCED? ⠀
⠀
Balance and stability may not be something we think too much about. But it’s something so essential to daily life it affects everything we do. And when it does become an issue, it can make even the simplest task, like grocery shopping or being able to work, more and more difficult. ⠀
⠀
The more we can strengthen and build up the muscle stabilizers in the lower back, the better our bodies will perform no matter what activity we’re throwing at it. ⠀
⠀
The easy part about improving balance is there’s no need for fancy equipment or intense exercises. All you need is a therapy ball , which will quickly work all of the muscles needed to help start fixing bad balance. ⠀
⠀
Why I like to start patients off with this particular exercise is that it not only works on all areas of the lower back, but also helps to get a feel for the unstable surface of the ball. It’s perfect for beginners and will make it easier to progress into more challenging exercises later on. ⠀
.⠀
If this is the first time using a therapy ball, try sitting next to a wall or hold onto a chair for balance. Slowly work up to doing the exercises without using any aids.⠀
⠀
Give it a try, tag someone who has some balance issues, and spread the good word!
