Balance naturally decreases as you age, but the good news is that you can take steps to improve it! Good balance helps you move confidently and reduces the risk of falling, a leading cause of injury in older adults. Maintaining balance is imperative to prevent falls and injuries and can keep you active and independent for longer. It is also crucial in daily activities, from walking to climbing stairs. Improving balance can lead to a better quality of life and increased mobility.
