How it works
Improves proprioception, reaction time, and neuromuscular coordination required to prevent falls. Tai chi and targeted balance exercises reduce falls risk by 20–35% in older adults.
Falls prevention is arguably more important than bone density improvement for fracture prevention in the short term. Otago Exercise Programme and Tai Chi have the strongest evidence. Available through physiotherapists and community programmes.
