I want to be less clumsy!

[derien]

An excellent article on how to rebuild your ankles after a sprain, or help yourself be less clumsy. Not complete, but mentions some easy exercises that one can apply right away. Apparently your sense of your feet and how they're hitting the ground is crucial to the sense of space and how you're positioned. I wonder if this will help me not fall down in the shower? That seems to be my most tricky place - when I turn with my eyes closed I often get a little unstable. It occurs to me to wonder, now, if this is because of the water running over my ears, as I'd thought, or more because of the curve of the bottom of the tub.

Wow, that's pretty interesting! I've sprained both ankles a number of times over the course of my life, but my left ankle has borne the brunt of it. I wondered why it was so much easier for me to stand on my right leg rather than my left one.
