Ok guys. For 7 years now at 73, I was very wobbly and hard walking safely. Three weeks ago I got junk in my left ear and went to Guidewell EC to have it looked at. YES And they cleaned out that ear, and when they cleaned out the right ear, which looked fine, a huge chunk of dead wax came out very very very very deep. It was spooky We were all surprised. I went home that night. Went to sleep got up next morning and I can walk just fine. All the people that I have spoken to about this or surprise, they have never thought about it. And we’re not talking old people we’re talking people people. So I would strongly reiterate this to your listeners. Good stuff. Take care.

Yes. Mike is speaking in a nasal tone, and has a naturally higher voice as well. Voice training can help with this, moving the voice 'center' lower with more resonance. As a benefit, this would add more low frequencies to his voice-making it deeper overall. In singing, this is referred to as having 'bottom' to the voice. It's also possible to overcome this with different miking and software processing, and this is quite reasonable these days since it can all be done in software.

Thank you so much again for your video! As for the ears, I had regular wax build up and was going to an audiologist every four months to get the wax removed. Then I heard through this research center - A.R.E. - Association for Research and Enlightenment, that the late Edgar Cayce who was the Father of Holistic Medicine, recommended just putting drops of olive oil in your ears daily and the wax will disolve. I did this 2 x's per day a couple weeks prior to my next appointment with the Audiologist. When she looked in my ears this time, she screamed and said, "Oh my God! Oh my God! This is amazing! There's no wax in your ears! They're completely clear!" I told her what I've been doing, and she kept saying it was amazing. I continue to put olive oil drops in my ears a few times per week as maintenance and haven't been back to the Audiologist since. Also, the late Edgar Cayce recommended head and beck exercises to improve hearing by slowly rotating the head 3 x's to the right and the left, head back and foreward 3 x's, and then side to side 3x's. This is very good for even your eyes. I know a retired woman doctor at 92 yrs. young who uses the olive oil in her ears regularly and does the head and neck exercises daily and her hearing is 💯%. And actually so is her eyesight. She swears by Edgar Cayce's suggestions, and of course for the eyes, she makes sure she gets adequate vitamin A in her diet. Good Luck everyone!😊

Imo the vestibular system is the main reason. Everything else is important in helping us quickly correct us when we realize we are starting to lean. Without having the physical ability to right ourselves, we will fall. I’m almost 60 and make sure to stay in good physical shape and work on those small muscle groups that really help with this. (Also if you have allergies and your sinuses back up which makes your ears back up, you can even have “seasonal klutziness” as I call mine.)

Tai chi is the single best thing I have found for improving balance. There is an emphasis on weight shifting which increases your conscious of where your weight is. Since I started taking tai chi classes, I can now stand on one foot for a lot longer than the 10 seconds that are associated with longevity, and if I DO stumble, I'm better able to right myself. Also: Where's Bob?

These are great suggestions! I've been working with some PTs to address my own fall issues that caused me to have some injuries. I just scheduled an eye exam, as my cataracts are just beginning to cause visual issues, which probably is one of the triggers for falling. Thanks! Jenny (p.s. I just did the forward and backwards just fine plus while doing the karaoke side-step I swing the opposite arms forward as a counterbalance. I don't use a cane so I can do this. Also when walking on sidewalks I need to be mindful of sidewalk cracks or uneven places where tree roots have buckled the sidewalk. With eyeglasses, progressive lenses can cause one to misstep as well especially at first while walking or going up and down stairs).

I had done them as part of my cardio more than 15 years ago. I will follow you guys, going slowly, until I am cleared medically to start up my old routine, which is much more vigorous.

One thing you might mention which I think affects me is afib (I'm 72). A couple months ago I had a heart block and a stroke walking down the street. It was my cerebellum that was affected and that can result in balance deficits. I've largely recovered as I've been walking seven miles a day and have done some hiking as well. I was riding my bike a few hundred miles a month before that. In recovery I noticed that I would feel "a little spacey" once in a while and I associated it with drinking coffee or stroke remnants. But in retrospect, my balance is fine (I do yoga and some pilates as well). But I did trip last summer on a trail, and fell way to the side. I thought it might have been weak glute meds, but now I think it some afib making me spacey. Another thing is that as a biker, my calves and hamstrings tend to be tight - this makes your toe point downward when you lift your foot - not a good thing for dragging it on the ground and tripping.Your exercises are all good, but there are more things to be considered.

I'm only in my 50s so it's about prevention. I have always practiced standing on one leg. I do qigong. It's easy, relaxing and absolutely improves balance and core strength. Even if you just include a few movements every day and repeat them often. Climbing around the rocks is another one. Definitely can't wear thin soled shoes because of my tendons. I need a firm shoe with anti pronation and plenty of cushioning from the ground. Then I have more spring in my step and can walk much further.

Two suggestions: Military & Police run-through old used tires! Old used tires are an excellent walk-through for senior’s reminding one to pickup your feet when walking!, & secondly, tires are a semi-soft landing! Second suggestion: tight rope walkers always carry a horizontal balance bar for increased balance!, which a similar balance bar would be a great tool for balance-therapy. A hardware store sells insulation for hot water pipes & air conditioner coolant lines, which can easily be placed over a homemade balance bar for protective padding!

I have fallen many times and one thing seems to stand out as to a probable cause. A case in point would be like in the kitchen when turning around from one side of cooking area to another. Turning around too fast from hurrying with nothing to hold onto is a no-no, while executed poorly. It's merely a question of slowing down and thinking before doing. We all seem to suffer from, "I can do that", I used to, and find out that your actions no longer so much support your thoughts. I should mention that I have COPD and due to an ensuing lack of excercising, have experienced severe edema and severe Covid which involved attacking already weakened leg nerves and muscles. Treatment will be ongoing for those affected areas. I'm sure that your execises directed toward balance problems will also be helpful as a base reminder for any therapy. I do appreciate your videos greatly!

Don't forget to have people do an overview of medications. For example my BP med needed to be a lower dose, I was getting dizzy and felt off balance due to my blood pressure dropping when I got up or bent over. AKA "postural hypotension"

The biggest help and fastest improvement with balance came with rebounding. Just gently bouncing on a rebounder keeping contact (not bouncing in the air) initially with support proved amazing. I’m 65. The beauty of this exercise is it helps drain the lymphatic system and detoxes the body.

Recently I was going to PT for a hip issue. I absolutely hated balancing on a cushion. It is a lot harder than it looks. My therapist actually had me close my eyes too. After a few weeks I got pretty good at it and it does strengthen the hips and thighs along with balance.Never tell your therapist what you hate because they will make you do it more often LOLOL

The best solution I know for balance and aging requires a time-travel machine. At 66 I stumble a lot but never fall. Why? Long ago I learned to skate backwards, and this rewired my brain regarding balance. Now when I'm walking and stumble and start to fall, I instinctively "reach up" instead of "bend over and catch yourself on your hands." (There's a couple of other things I wish I'd learned when younger. So if anyone has a working time-machine, please get in touch. )

So true about your eyes ,have been having dizzy / light head feeling for last six months blood tests all clear and no diagnosis,(hopeless G. P )my eyes have been full of water every day so decided after re searching you -tube and finding out its called dry eyes got drops to help, started to realise my lightheaded feeling was disappearing but didn't associate the eye problem and dizzy feeling was anything to do with my blurry eyes but after listening to this now understand it has been playing a big part in my unsteadiness I'm now waiting for an eye test for specs.Great reassuring advice as always from Bob ,Brad and Mike many thanks .

Great video! I'm just puzzled how I could walk looking straight ahead, because where I live the roads are so broken and potholed I'd be flat on my face in seconds! I HAVE to walk looking down to avoid obstacles!
@trelligan42 Жыл бұрын
There is a technique of looking ahead and tracking the obstacles with a combination of remembering where they are and anticipating them, and casting your eyes down momentarily without dropping the head. That said, sometimes you just have to. Another balance technique is to move the head while exercising to become used to accommodating this without getting dizzy. Since I wear glasses the eye casting method works less well for me, but I intentionally still try to use it when I can. The thing to avoid is keeping the head-downward position most or all of the time; this leads to the problems they describe in this video. Also constantly moving the head up and down while moving can cause dizziness by itself, in addition to any other problems that might be present.
