    What an amazing journey you’ve had! Glad to see you are recovering nicely.

    Yoga would be wonderful for your balance, and so would taking an adult beginner ballet class. Ballet will greatly improve your balance and flexibility. And I don’t mean a Barre class, I mean an honest to goodness ballet class. Most dance studios offer classes for adults at night.

    The podiatrist i worked with said to try standing with one leg and one knee up. Keep balance. Then close your eyes and keep balance. Switch legs.

    Classical ballet certainly works the calf muscle and requires constant weight-shifting/balance.
