Balance and Gait Training – Vestibular Rehabilitation

Balance and gait Training (the process of walking) are intricate movements that rely on proper functioning from several body areas. Including ears, eyes, brain, and muscles. Problems with any of these areas can lead to walking difficulties, falls or injury.

These disorders occur when the systems that provide our sense of balance don’t function properly. They make you feel unsteady, spinning, floating or a sensation of movement when the body is still. In older adults balance disorders can result in dangerous falls. They can be caused by ear infections, head injury, circulation disorders or arthritis to mention a few.
