Balance

Tai Chi is excellent training for balance. Yang style is the most common worldwide.

@pmcallister May I suggest a visit to a Physical Therapist who specializes in Rehabilitation - these are usually affiliated with a trauma center or orthopedic hospital.
When you have joints replaced and/or back surgery, your body mechanics change. This can cause limping, an odd gait, balance issues, even toes turning in or out. Why? The replacement of worn joints changes your body mechanics, and your brain and body need to be retrained.
What helped me was an full evaluation, gait and balance training and specific strengthening exercises - all done by rehab therapists (highly trained PTs) who specialized in trauma cases, limb loss, post stroke recovery and more. It took about 3-4 months working with them, and continuing the exercises on my own for about 3 more months.

Thank you. We live in a very remote location, closest real
Physical Therapist is hard to find, Most are massage specialists. Surgeon gave me a few on line references. But what you recommend is similar to his recommendations. Thank you kindly.

That can make it difficult, but if you can get a few appointments to get started, do the work on your own and check in monthly, would that be possible?

With the better weather staring hoping to get in more walking. When I was scheduled for preop for hip replacement a few months ago, anesthetists scheduled an angiogram. Two stents were found necessary but are too complicated for angioplasty. Received cardiologist letter last week, heart surgery now scheduled for August.
I thought I was finally done with hospitals, this is a surprise a I feel good and was just looking forward to improving my balance. Thankfully I have my gardens and book writing to keep me occupied. Thank you for your follow-up,
