From the Author
The subject of falls among senior citizens has become a primary concern for individuals, medical professionals and government health agencies. Falling is the major cause of injury for this age group. And with individuals living longer, statistically, the incidence of injury has to increase and with it, the cost of medical rehabilitation has to increase. Living longer is one thing, living longer with a sense of well-being is another. Helping to bring this sense of well-being to thousands of senior citizens has been a great source of joy in my life.
Early on, I recognized that balance was the key to preventing falls. My Balance System helps individuals develop that proper balance by increasing leg strength and muscular coordination. You will become more alert to hazardous situations that can lead to falls and you will even learn to fall in a way that minimizes injury.
Once you become familiar with the exercises of the Balance System and practice them on a regular basis, you will develop a keener sense of confidence and will enjoy a much higher quality of life. Let's begin, on to the Balance System.
