Want to live longer?  Strike a flamingo pose for 10 seconds.  That’s right.  The one legged pose is key because we encounter it all the time in our lives, such as when we step out of cars or climb stairs.  Research has shown that balance is a strong indicator of our overall health. 

A simple way to improve your balance and maintain bone health is to practice with Dr. Janson.  Wear comfortable clothes, bring a Thera-band and have water nearby. The session will be recorded for repeated use.

 

Dr. Sophia Janson has almost 30 years of experience as a physical therapist. She is board certified in Geriatric Physical Therapy and understands how the aging process impacts balance and falls risk. The majority of her clinical experience is in home health care which includes home safety assessments and falls prevention instruction. She is a clinical instructor for physical therapy with George Washington University.
