Single Leg Balance With Vertical Head Turns

  • HOW: Get set-up standing and balancing on one foot. While maintaining your balance, move your head by looking up and down as far as directed or that you feel comfortable with.
 
  • FEEL: You should feel like your balance is being challenged. If youโ€™re having difficulty maintaining your balance, start out with slowing down your head turns or decreasing the total amount of head movement.
 
  • COMPENSATION: Try not to losing your posture and excessively leaning forward/backward or side to side. If you lose your balance it is ok, take a step and get back to starting position. Do not allow yourself to fall or take the risk of injuring yourself.
