        What You Need to Know About Balance and Falls......

Anyone who has ever slipped on a patch of ice knows how unnerving it can be to lose your balance-for a moment your world is literally turned upside down.  Yet balance-the ability to control and maintain your body's position as it moves through space-is such an integral, ever-present part of daily life that most people rarely give it conscious thought.  There are conditions, however, that may impair your sense of balance and contribute to falls.  The effects of aging are the most common causes of balance problems; injury and disease can also trigger problems.  Because falling is such a common and potentially serious problem - 1 in 4 people over the age of 65 (who live at home) will fall during the next year-it's  important to find out what you can do to decrease your risk and improve your general health and mobility....

Your Physical Therapist has many ways of working with you to enhance your sense of balance !!!
