Ballerinas, tight rope walkers, ice skaters… they seem to have such poise and a natural balance that most of us dont possess. But I want to share a secret with you today… That balance comes from lots and lots of practice. Which shows us that while our balance can worsen with age and different conditions that we cant avoid, it can also improve with practice.

WHAT IS BALANCE? 

For one to stay upright, 3 things need to happen: 

  1. Your sensory system accurately portraying information on your body’s position in its environment  –  Hearing, vision and touch (such as our feet on the floor).
  2. Your brain processing that information  –  Neurons and sensory receptors in the brain (i.e. making decisions).  
  3. Your muscles and joints coordinating movement based on the information your brain gives them  –  Being able to contract and relax your muscles to move how you want to.
