A practical guide to working on your balance
- practical approach with a series of exercises
- aimed at the general public who want to stay in shape as they age, or recover after an accident

What if you stopped stumbling? Whether you're playing sport or going about your daily life at home, on a hike or in the street, a fall can ruin your life and make you lose your independence. But it's not just down to "bad luck", nor is it inevitable, because balance is something you can work on!
Pascal Floyrac draws on his experience as a coach and sports trainer and on the de Gasquet method to design this illustrated 16-phase step by step exercise program, to help you :
- improve mobility and control
- reduce the risk of injury
- improve the accuracy of your movements
- help treat injuries (sprains, tendonitis, tears)
- optimize performance on all "terrains": running, climbing, jumping, swimming...
- increase overall body stability.
The program is enriched with exercises and advice from Bernadette de Gasquet.
