Stay Steady. Stay Safe. Stay Independent.

Good balance is essential for mobility and confidence in daily life. As we age or recover from injury, balance issues can increase the risk of falls — a leading cause of injury among adults. Physical therapy can help restore stability, improve coordination, and reduce fall risk.

Understanding Balance Problems

Why Balance Declines

Balance can be affected by a variety of factors, including:

• Weakness in the legs or core muscles
• Inner ear (vestibular) disorders
• Neurological or sensory changes
• Joint pain or stiffness
• Side effects from medication
• Limited mobility or inactivity

• Balance retraining exercises to improve coordination and stability
