TOPIC of the MONTH AUGUST 2014~~Balance

[selmaS]

Hi all we all tend to have issues with balance whether it is from feeling dizzy , vertigo, or just unstable feet and legs.....

In doing some research I found for toddlers learning to walk, many pediatricians suggest they go barefoot to be able to find their own footing...then use a soft flexible shoe one that gives as opposed to one that is stiff and unyeilding to the movement of the foot....so there is more rocking and tipping over then walking and the movement is all in the legs and not the foot as it should be.

I decided to try this...and got myself some softer soled shoes....Go Walk are great I can now walk on grass....I was wondering if others have attempted to try different things to help with balance?

When I have vertigo I focus on one spot, like a wall picture and try to stop the spinning sensation, it helps a little.
