[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A critical issue that midlife desk jockeys and elders face is loss of proprioception which is a primary cause of falls in later life. Do balance exercises and spend time walking barefoot, especially on natural surfaces. It might hurt at first because the nerves in your feet have become inactive from years wearing shoes and walking on flat surfaces. Reactivate them by walking barefoot on natural surfaces every day if you can - you can get a simulated terrain mat for the house if an outdoors location isn’t an option for you.[/quote] Here’s a good resource to get started: https://www.pulsepemf.com/blog/proprioception-increasing-balance-to-avoid-accidental-falls/[/quote]
