Staying steady: How to improve balance and prevent falls as you age?

Hello everyone,

How are you doing today? 😊

Maintaining good balance is important for staying independent and preventing falls, especially as we get older. Falls are one of the leading causes of serious injury among older adults, but working on balance can help reduce the risk and keep us mobile for longer. And improving balance isn’t just for older adults, it’s helpful for everyone, from young adults to seniors, to prevent injuries and improve physical fitness.
