How Our Six-Step Balance System Works

HelpsTo Prevent Falls and Reduce Injuries 

This system was designed to utilize both a senior's mental and physical condition to help prevent falls.  More than being simple "exercises," these brief, targeted activities serve more complex processes that affect the mind and body.  Although the Six-Step Balance System™ is composed of six major steps, the exercises contained in each chapter need not be done in a series or all at once.  Nor do they have to be finished completely.  

The great thing about the 6 Steps to Balance is that it encourages participants to begin the process of achieving better balance.  Any attempt with any of these exercise activities is a success.  The goal is to keep trying different activities as often as you can.

You will train your body to balance safely and move more freely without the fear of falling.

When a fall is unavoidable, by practicing the Six-Step Balance System,™ you will be prepared to fall more safely and gain the confidence to maintain your current lifestyle. 

FALLS ARE NOT JUST A SENIOR ISSUE ANYMORE, BUT NOW AN INTER-GENERATIONAL ISSUE.

The fifth edition of her book, How To Prevent Falls: Better Balance, Independence and Energy in Six Simple Steps lays out a common sense, fun approach to improving both fitness and balance in senior citizens through a series of simple, easy to learn  balance exercises. Evidence based statistics have proven that the Six Step Balance System™ is effective in preventing falls and reduction of injuries. More than 130,000 copies of the book have been sold!

Its 14 key stretching exercises are designed to be performed in the comfort and safety of your bed. This guide offers everyone the security and assurance that they'll do each exercise correctly and safely for good senior fitness health.

     "Stretching makes us feel good inside and out, and when we feel good, we look good.  Stretching is also a form of  exercise.  It is key to flexibility and mobility because it creates warmth in our muscles and ligaments.  Warm muscles function better than cold ones.  Every day before you get out of bed, get your motor running by stretching.  In consultation with medical professionals, I've selected 14 stretching exercises that will provide an easy and effective way to help you start your day feeling physically awake and mentally alert."   Betty Perkins-Carpenter, Ph.D.

The titles of each stretching exercise will make you smile and therefore eventually all you will have to do is look at the title of the stretching exercise and you will remember what to do and how to do it. For example, one is called 'A Little Necking'!

Stretching in Bed will help you: Increase flexibility Improve circulation Relieve tension & stress Decrease anxiety Improve joint functionality Relieve muscle cramps Physically awake and mentally alert
