As we all grow older some people experience difficulties with their balance. Statistics show approximately 9% of adults who are 65 years and older report having problems with balance. Good balance is important in being able to control and maintain your body’s position, whether you are moving or remaining still. An intact sense of balance helps you walk without falling, get up from a chair without falling and climb stairs without tripping. Good balance is important to help you get around, remain independent and carry out your regular daily activities.
Some exercises help make up for a balance disorder by moving the head and body in certain ways. The exercises are developed especially for a patient by a professional who understands the balance system and its relationship with other systems in the body.
