11 MUST-DO Balance Exercises to Reduce Unsteadiness

If you are frustrated with feeling unsteady and fearful of falling...
If you want to take your balance to the next level...
Join Dr. Alyssa Kuhn, physical therapist and osteoarthritis specialist as she shows you the top 11 balance exercises that will not only help to improve your balance but will skyrocket your confidence when walking, stair climbing and when out and about.

Adding movement and moving in different directions are both incredibly important in taking your balance to the next level. This is called dynamic balance. When most people lose their balance, it typically is when they are moving- not when they are stationary.
You'll see a variety of balance exercises including tandem stance with movement, modified single leg stance, lateral movements and more. These are perfect to help seniors, those with osteoarthritis and joint pain, as well as those looking to improve or maintain their balance. Not only can these exercises help to prevent falls but they can provide support and relief to arthritic, painful joints too.

Alyssa, you are a great teacher. You do understand that we feel limited and weak. That`s another awesome video! I couldn't do all exercises today but, I am willing to accomplish them. I am doing it very little everyday, but this time, it`s for life! Thank you

[@arthritisadventure]

You can do it! You're so welcome!

[@mariannebrowne7398]

Thanks for this! I really need to work on my balance

[@arthritisadventure]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ChittarupaYoga]

We all need to work on balance. 😊

[@OldstoriesNewviews]

Your videos are outstandingly helpful! I especially like your cheery, optimistic and encouraging mood. Arthritis’ restriction of movement after a lifetime of normal movement, depresses me and your presentation style lifts me up to keep trying improvements. Also, it helps motivate me to watch an actual client who’s in a similar boat, do the exercise w you.

[@arthritisadventure]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! ☀️

[@svenlore]

This was a great workout for balance! After doing a lot of walking on a trip I found that my right leg was really painful and I resorted to limping. After doing this workout one day it's already helped my walking pain/limping to lessen--thanks SO much!

[@jenjohnson8965]

[@annlroe]

This is a great video - i fractured my spine a couple of years ago and had surgery last year, which has had an impact on my balance when walking and also the strength in my right thigh due to nerve pain. I have tried your exercises, and my back and thigh hurt a little. Do you recommend any other exercises that i could perform to strengthen my thigh and my balance. I know i need to persevere to get stronger, so your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing this great video.😊

[@arthritisadventure]

You're so welcome! Here's another video that talks about balance for stair climbing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqXYgIihq8dkgtU

[@lucydych9474]

Excellent 😊

[@arthritisadventure]

Thanks for the visit

[@suzy2746]

Thank you for so much for these videos. I've been very active and keep fit fanatic most of my life until sports knee injury then several ankle sprains and tears ! then recently an ankle break !!! I'm a very young minded 61 year old and felt alone and depressed thinking I'm done with getting fit again and fearing future in old age on crutches or worse , now I see there is potential for keeping mobile as long as possible and seeing all these comments from all ages I don't feel as alone now with my limitations. Do you have progressive courses of work outs for strength training with these limitations we now have to cope with. I'd consider paying for a course. I'm going to try the bath technique as my job is very physical and heavy and I have been longing for a long hot soak after but have been too scared of injuring my ankle getting out. Also do you have any ankle strengthening exercises please ? Many many thanks 🙏
