Good morning, Ed. For the past few months I've been concerned that my balance had grown slightly worse, but then I remembered for the same past few months, because of long days of heavy lifting and heavy carting involved in moving my partner over to my house, I've not been exercising. Now that the move is complete and I'm back to exercising regularly, I can see that my balance has not worsened. In my mind, that's a tribute to regular exercise. (Here we go … another day!) ––Ray

I would agree, as well. My balance is about the same now as it was a year ago. I have had PT specifically for balance, which may have helped more if I had done the exercises every single day. I do exercises in the pool each day. I am now seeing a PT who does dry needling. After six weekly visits at $100/pop I can't tell much difference.... so I doubt I will continue that. I guess the thing that has helped the most is to just try and keep moving everyday and not become too sedentary. The AFOs also help with balance for me.... but I still stumble or fall on occasion. Life is certainly different than a few years ago! Best wishes! MikeH
