When it comes to building better balance on the stairs, you first want to understand why you are feeling unsteady. Is it stiffness, weakness, instability, fear, pain when putting full weight on one leg? A combination of some of these?
If you are looking for ways to improve your balance, you've come to the right place. Remember, consistency is key to improving stability, reducing pain and increasing mobility- especially with arthritis.

Thank you. I live in a third floor walk up, I will be using the steps in the hallway to do these, don't worry they are very high and lots of walls to support.
Your videos are super helpful. Yesterday as I came out of the library, there was a woman laying the ground and yelling "HELP" she had stumbled from the curb and fell, we call an an ambulance and she was being taken care of when I departed the scene.
You are welcome and glad the videos have been helpful. Hopefully she was okay.
Thanks for video

You're welcome!
My issue isn’t “confidence or weakness” per se. I have “Neuropathy” in both feet/ankles (the left is SUBSTANTIALLY WORSE) and I CANNOT “FEEL” my feet “making contact with the ground”!! I ALWAYS have to “have my cane handy” OR use a “hand-rail” (when available) as a “safety net”; just in case my foot/feet “give out” due to the lack of “feeling”!! ☹️ (I also have “necrosis” under both kneecaps.) Is there ANY WAY to “re-train my brain” into BELIEVING my feet ARE “touching the ground” while walking, climbing stairs, etc.??
Fun Fact!! 🤭
I “practice ‘Roadside FST’ tests” at home, to help “improve my balance and strength”. However, I HAVE to “first and foremost”, start by “gently and alternately” “pressing my toes and feet ‘into’ the ground” several times. This “tells my brain” that my feet ARE “actually ‘there’!!” 😂

Here’s another: amzn.to/4aJJqwz
8 weeks into hip replacement, I wonder, can I put my full weight on my Bionic hip?
Iam afraid going up an down on stairs because of my balance in my legs
Does this work also when heavily overweight?
It can! Depends on how it feels for you.
It’s my back leg muscle that hurts when doing stairs
Sorry Doctor Alyssa before I wrote down yours name wrong spelling.
Thank you
You're welcome
