Avoid Falls with the #1 Balance Exercise for Seniors
As we age, falls pose an growing risk to our health, well-being, and independence. Once we hit 65, falls become the #1 cause of injury.
Falls injuries include broken wrists, cracked ribs, fractured hips, concussions, cuts, and bruises.
Falls affect our mental and emotional health too, causing anxiety, depression, and fear of movement.
But there's good news. Leading medical authorities agree: Falls are preventable. Mainly through the right kind of exercise
And the #1 exercise for fall prevention? Tai Chi.
That's where I come in. I'm an exercise physiologist and the creator of the Tai Chi for Balance Program at Chicago Tai Chi.
I've seen firsthand how Tai Chi for Balance dramatically improves balance, stability, and confidence for seniors. That's why I'm excited to share a brand-new, free lesson from my Tai Chi for Balance program.

Why Tai Chi for Balance?
Tai Chi uniquely trains three critical areas for avoiding falls:
1. Foot Sensitivity and Awareness – Your feet have over 25% of your body's bones and hundreds of sensitive structures. Tai Chi helps you reconnect with these sensations, significantly improving your balance.
2. Posture Control – Maintaining a vertical, centered posture provides a more stable structure, reducing your risk of falling. This lesson teaches you exactly how to feel and correct your posture effortlessly.
3. Strengthening Legs and Hips – Tai Chi helps build strong legs and hips, without the pounding, strain, and risk of injury of higher impact exercises.
A Personal Note
I've helped hundreds of seniors reduce their fall risk through Tai Chi for Balance. Participants consistently tell me how quickly their confidence grows. Just a few minutes a day can make a profound difference.
