TANDEM STANCE BALANCE EXERCISE

TANDEM STANCE BALANCE EXERCISE TECHNIQUE

• Standing next to a chair for safety and stability.

• Place one foot directly in front of the other foot, with the toes of one foot almost touching the heel of the other foot.

• Ensure your feet are not splayed out and your toes are facing towards the front.

• Hold this position for as long as directed and if unable keep track of your time.

• When you have completed the set time, change feet.

• If you are feeling quite unsteady with this exercise you can use two chairs with one on either side of you.

• To make this exercise more challenging you can close your eyes and practice holding for the set time.

• You can also try this exercise with an unstable surface such as a cushion.

• Or you can add a task, such as bouncing a ball.
