I have been to physical therapy before and still use the exercises suggested for home. Not seeing improvement. Really difficult to return to PT because of DH health issues and various appointments. Has anyone tried products seen on tv like the 60 up balance board. I need something with handles. I have issues with vertigo- not currently but this really makes everything difficult. Thanks for any information and suggestions. Southern Bee

@Southernbee  Tai Chi Fit over 50   David Dorian-Ross.

There was a thread about this recently.  I had recommended it to someone else.

It's very calming and not difficult.  Really aimed to improve balance and flexibility.

It's available on Amazon

@SouthernBee  Forgot to mention this program can be done standing or sitting!

Some physical therapy practices are offering Zoom during the pandemic. Some, in my city are offering free classes. Check it out in your area.

When I had PT for my knees, he had me stand on a Bosu ball (flat side up). I did squats on it for my knees. That will really help with improving balance.

@LindaSal : Thanks for the quick response. Definitely need to start with something sitting in chair until regain  balance and strength. ❤️ Southern Bee

@LindaSal @SouthernBee I second the idea of Tai Chi -  and I know there are quite a few programs free on Youtube.

Also, Google chair exercises for seniors.

@millieshops : I have several of the chair exercise dvds and wanted something different. Thank you.❤️Southern Bee
