Just as with dizziness, balance is also complex. There are even more conditions that can affect balance than there are that cause dizziness. One of the reasons for this is that there are many systems of the body that contribute helping us stay balanced. The following are some of the components that contribute to balance:
Problems with any of the above areas can cause balance problems. However, the brain and the body are very adaptable. Even if the primary cause of a balance disorder cannot be fixed, the other components that contribute balance can be worked on to make up for the ones that are not working so you can have an overall improvement in balance. That is where the specific training and equipment use in balance physical therapy can help. No matter what the cause, challenging your balance with specific exercises in a safe manner will help to improve it. At NPBTC, we have a variety of equipment designed for safely challenging your balance so you can decrease your risk of falling and feel confident on your feet!
