Something for you do-it-yourselfers, or ask your doctor/therapist for something better. It reminds me of my 24 hour-a-day therapy.

Janet also stands on one
leg when posting a letter.
Janet is working hard to stay
balanced.
Posting a letter standing on
one leg and holding the
umbrella challenges Janet’s
balance.
Keep looking for strength and balance activity opportunities
in your daily routine
To improve your balance keep challenging your balance
 To strengthen your muscles, load them and keep them
working hard
 Look for ways to put more activities into your day
 Make small changes around the house to remind you to do
the activities
 Increase the amount of physical activity you do
