Along with strength, posture and flexibility, balance specific exercises will improve one's balance. The research and studies by many groups, companies, and universities that have been used in some way in our classes and lectures are available below. BU, and many other programs use exercises as part of evidence-based programs. The research that has gone into the exercises that are in this program have been studied extensively.
