One of the most common questions I get asked by my personal training clients is how they can improve their balance. This is something, like muscle mass, that naturally declines with age and when our balance is compromised, most likely our posture will be, too. The answer is balance training.
Balance training can improve postural control and reduce the risk of ankle strains, particularly for people with chronic ankle instability, according to research in the BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilition journal, and that’s why I’m such a big fan of the wobble board.
