While standing at the kitchen counter, place two fingertips on the counter. Stand on one foot lifting the other off the floor. Slowly lift your hands away from the counter and maintain your balance as long as you can. Minor balance checks are acceptable as long as you continue to maintain your balance with minimal help from your hands.
Hold: 5-10 seconds
Repeat: 2 repetitions on each leg/2 times a day.
If you are a diabetic and do not currently see a podiatrist, call our Glastonbury or Middletown office to make an appointment.
