ASK A PT | Episode 3

Worried about your balance as you get older? 🤔

In this week’s Ask A PT, Travis is joined by Todd to answer Karen’s question:

❓ “What exercises can I add to maintain or improve balance as I age?”

Here’s what they recommend:

✔ Start with standing on one foot
✔ Progress to softer surfaces (like a towel or grass)
✔ Try closing your eyes to challenge your balance
✔ Add movement like turning your head
✔ Advance to “clock reach” exercises for control and stability

One key takeaway: Balance isn’t just standing still—it’s your ability to move and stay in control.

🎥 Watch the full video below to see how to do these step by step

💬 Quick test:
Can you stand on one foot for 10 seconds?
Comment YES or NO 👇

Ever heard of a GoBoard? 👀

It might look simple, but it’s one of our favorite tools for improving balance. It is also one of the most important skills for staying independent as we age.

Better balance = fewer falls, more confidence, and more freedom in daily life

Our patients might call it a workout… we call it progress!

👉 Think you could stay balanced on this? Be honest 😄

Most patients think they should AVOID lifting heavy objects as they age. It is hard to find worse advice than that!

Strength training is one of the best things you can do for your body as you age.

Bear Hold Movement Challenge!

Low back pain? This simple test might tell you more than you think.

Most lower back issues happen around L4-L5 and L5-S1 and often it’s because the stabilizing muscles aren’t doing their job.

Here’s your challenge:

✔️ Get into bear position (hands under shoulders, knees under hips, toes tucked)
✔️ Lift knees just 1–2 inches off the ground
✔️ Keep your spine neutral (don’t arch, don’t round)
✔️ Hold for 3 minutes

The first few seconds should look exactly like the last few seconds — no shifting, no raising hips, no leaning forward. Just pure stability.

💥 If you can hold it strong for 3 minutes, great.
😅 If not, that’s valuable info too.

Drop your time in the comments !
Did you make it to 3 minutes? Or did your core start shaking at 45 seconds?
