Balancing exercises do help with re-establishing nerve communication links between your brain and feet/arms as well as building core strength. I highly recommend gentle yoga exercise for those still physically able to do it. You can use a wall or chair for extra balance support.

Gentle yoga does not include twisting your body into a pretzel... it is gentle movements and stretching along with gentle breathing exercises. I forget all about my symptoms while doing yoga and feel much better at the end of a session.

There are different types and teaching methods for yoga, so you have to find and instructor or class that works best for your needs. I'm fortunate to have found a well rounded experienced teacher that has taught us to better listen to our bodies while doing yoga exercises to target those specific problem areas which may vary from day to day.
