We’re proud to share that our very own Dana Tress, PT, certified concussion specialist, and ergonomic specialist, was recently featured in an article in Eat This, Not That! about the vital role of balance in health, longevity, and fall prevention. Dana explained how balance begins to decline in our 40s and 50s if it’s not actively trained, stressing the importance of addressing it well before older adulthood.

The article also introduced four simple balance tests/exercises you can try to see where you stand:

• Single-Leg Balance Test

• 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test

• Y-Balance Test

• Gait Speed Test

With falls being a leading cause of injury in adults over 65, Dana’s insights are a reminder that building balance today helps protect your health and independence for the future.
