All Your Videos are Great! But this one is the GOAT! (Greatest of All Time!) Sending this to all my relatives & friends! Thank you for all you do, Doug, to acknowledge that Balancing is the key to not falling! 🎉
He is correct about balance but incorrect about other senses like sight and hearing. You learn to see. You learn to hear. The time frame is diferent . But if you lose a sense for a significaant time you have to relearn itand it can take quite a long time. . Loss of balance has to do with failure of the brain to integrate movement smoothly. Cruddy input of info due to neuropathy or something else makes it hard for the cerebellum to do its job. Walkers polles and canes are fantastic i find Tai Chi brilliant . This guy explains things so well.
Good video for the average person. Nowhere have I seen on your channel addressing neuropathy in the feet. There is no way to do these exercises when you have numbness and pain in every step. Do you have something for those of us who need another method?
Hello. Neuropathy is a frequent issue I see in clients. It certainly limits balance. All of the exerices I reccomend can improve balance in anyone, even someone with neuropathy. But, it certainly cannot reduce neuropathy. Exercises that improve circulation can help that. I think this would be a good topic for a video! Thank you!!
Best exercise for balance -- water walking and water aerobics!! I started this 4 years ago during Covid and I am amazed at the improvement in my balance.
Thank you for the lesson on balance. I learned that strength alone is insufficient and that we must continuously revisit the basics of balance to enhance our stability.
I agree! Neuropathy is a common cause of imbalance and falls. Many of the exercise I demonstrate can help reduce the effects of neuropathy on your balance.
Hello, this is a great question. Hearing loss iteself, has only a minimal impact on balance. It does cause difficulty with walking in the dark, but otherwise there is a minimal effect. If hearing loss is accompanied by tinnitis, it can have a much greater effect on balance.

I've only heard it said that using a cane is not advisable for somebody post hip surgery because it's encouraging dysfunction. I don't want to favor one side; I'm perfectly happy to use a pole because I don't lean on it, I can actually navigate easier with it, but mostly just swing it, sometimes jauntily 🤪

Thanks!
This teacher is good. I practice what he teaches and my legs get stronger even in a few days. He is relaxed, he does not push us. Thank you.
Wonderful!

Thanks for the comment!
I see the inevitable problem with balance as the effect of "time" just like presbiopia or the need for reading glasses.
Thank you needed to hear this 🙏💛💚
👍 very encouraging for me

Thank you, makes perfect sense. I've been working on strength so I could walk better. Now I know. Bless you

All this is great....except when you can't feel your feet......

I have a question - how does a hearing loss affect ur balance?
Hello, this is a great question. Hearing loss iteself, has only a minimal impact on balance. It does cause difficulty with walking in the dark, but otherwise there is a minimal effect. If hearing loss is accompanied by tinnitis, it can have a much greater effect on balance.

What if you have foot drop? That is what makes it so hard for me to walk.
Have you tried an AFO?
@neurolasticinstitute424 yes... doesn't work great

@@neurolasticinstitute424 so afo is your only answer??
Thank you 🙏😊😊
Very encouraging
Do you think that a treadmill will be a good solution??????
A treadmill is great for increasing your activity level and fitness. But, it is not a good way of improving balance
Outstanding video. Thanks!
