Are you worried about losing your balance, falling, and injuring yourself? Falls are the leading cause of injury, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations for seniors in North America, reducing independence and accelerating the need for long-term care.

Testimonials
5 stars - great for seniors. Exercises for standing, sitting, lying. Sensible for elders, with easier and harder modifications for each exercise.
5 stars - great for balance exercises. This is a very good book to follow if you have problems with balance and/or falling. The author used her father as the person to do the exercises and follow his progress. The author's writing is very motivating for older people who have balance and falling problems. Quite a useful book.
