Body balance is a state where our bodies are in perfect shape to handle every day’s activities. It also involves the response to external conditions with respect to physical movement and posture. Such features lead to healthy living, ease in handling daily chores and confidence in daily routine. Our feet, jaw, pelvis and feet are the major parts of the body that are responsible for body balance. Their work is to coordinate with the brain in finding this balance. Any slight disturbance on these organs significantly affects body movements and patterns, thereby affecting the body balance. Therein, a deformity needs routine retraining and work-outs to help restore normal bodily functioning.
