The Stepping Response:

One strategy frequently used by Physiotherapists when we start to lose our balance is something known as a stepping response. A stepping response is a balance response that occurs when someone steps quickly to adjust from a loss of balance. Seems simple enough, but if your foot does not step out fast enough either forward, sideways or backward another body part (such as your hand, arm, hip or head) will come in contact with the ground. This can lead to a bruise, strain, a sprain or, worse, a fracture.

Other benefits include:

1. Helps the body to respond quickly in various situations.

2. Reduce risk of injury.

3. Increase efficiency of performance, speed and balance.

4. Maintain core strength, overall good health, flexibility and performance.

5. Ladders are important in maintaining health and strength in which health improves self-confidence and better shape helps to become a better athlete.
