It’s really more beneficial than other type of exercise for older adults.

A significant effort to avoid falling should be in everyone’s interest. Balance training and specific exercises can provide an alternative to becoming less active. Beginning a program to improve the patient’s stability and balance includes proprioceptive training. We use exercises like the “stork” or the swiss-ball to provide an approach to help build balance and decrease the likelihood of falling and becoming injured. We tell our patients if you want to keep moving as you get older, you need to keep moving as you get older which means working with chiropactic, acupuncture and balance exercises.
