Exercise 29 Heel to toe balance
Helps with:
Balance
Starting position:
Standing
Starting position
Place one foot in front of the other, heel to toe. You may want to use a support.
Step one
When you are steady, let go of your support and hold your balance.
Try to count to 10.
Change so that the other foot is in front and repeat.
Step two
If you feel very confident, try with both eyes shut.
Be careful, this one is quite tricky.
You may not quite count to the suggested number but you can work towards increasing the length of time you can balance.
If you have problems/concerns, talk to a physiotherapist
