Balance Training – Low<br />
Good balance is fundamental to optimal functioning and personal<br />
mobility. Unfortunately, balance declines with age. Muscular<br />
weakness, inflexibility and motor-control impairment also reduce<br />
balance as we get older. Losses in balance can be slowed, halted, or<br />
even reversed with a program <strong>of</strong> coordination, strength, flexibility,<br />
and range <strong>of</strong> motion exercises.<br />
