Improving Posture and Coordination to Prevent Senior Falls
Maintaining physical stability is a complex process. Our brain coordinates information from three main systems: our eyes (vision), our joints and feet (proprioception), and our inner ear balance channels (vestibular system). As we age, these systems can decline, leading to unsteadiness, posture shifts, and dizziness. However, balance is a skill that can be trained and improved. Specialized balance training for seniors helps rebuild coordination, strengthen stabilizing muscles, and restore walking confidence.
Sattva's balance training program in Bangalore is designed by registered geriatric physiotherapists. We deliver customized, clinical exercise programs in the comfort and safety of your home.
Core Areas of Sattva's Balance Retraining
We design balance exercises to address the specific stability needs of each senior:
- Proprioceptive & Foot Stability Drills: Exercises performed on various textures (firm floors, foam pads) to help the brain recognize joint and foot positions, improving balance on uneven ground.
- Vestibular Rehabilitation Exercises: Head-eye coordination exercises to help stabilize vision during head movements, managing dizziness and motion sensitivity.
- Lower Body Strength Training: Targeted exercises for the hips, knees, and ankles to ensure the body has the strength to recover balance during a slip or stumble.
- Dual-Task Training: Simple cognitive-motor exercises (e.g., walking while talking) to help seniors maintain balance in busy or distracting environments.
Scientific, Trackable Progress in Bengaluru
Sattva's balance programs are based on objective testing. We use the Berg Balance Scale and TUG test to measure progress and adjust exercises as the senior improves. Serving communities across Bengaluru, we help seniors live safely, confidently, and independently in their homes.
