Balance and Fall Prevention
MAINTAIN YOUR INDEPENDENCE WITH BETTER BALANCE
If you're experiencing dizziness, unsteadiness, or vertigo, or if you've already had a fall that's shaken your confidence, you deserve more than just "be careful" advice.
​
Balance is complicated—it involves your eyes, ears, pelvis, feet, strength, and nervous system all working together. When one system isn't functioning well, it affects everything else.
Most Approaches Only Address One Piece of the Puzzle
Generic balance exercises might strengthen your legs, but what if the problem is in your inner ear? Or your visual tracking? Or the position of your pelvis?
​
Evidence-based balance and fall prevention treatment addresses all the systems that work together to keep you steady and confident on your feet. This means a comprehensive assessment of how your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems interact, then targeted treatment for what your body specifically needs.
Research-Backed Treatment for Balance and Stability
Every year, over a third of Canadians fall—and the risk increases with age. But falling isn't inevitable.
​
Studies demonstrate that osteopathic manual treatment in older adults:¹
-
Reduces pain that affects balance
-
Improves stability and coordination
