Balance training, steadying the body

Balance training

Balance training is practice that helps a person stay steady while sitting, standing and moving. It trains the body to react quickly when it starts to sway.

This matters most for older adults and stroke survivors, who are at higher risk of falling. A single fall can lead to a fracture and a long setback for the whole family.

Our physiotherapist starts with safe, supported exercises and builds up as steadiness improves. We work near a wall or sturdy chair at home, and remove trip hazards so practice stays safe. As balance grows, everyday moving around the house feels less frightening.
