Is Unsteadiness Affecting Your Life?
Standing on one foot isn't fixing the real problem if:
-
You still feel dizzy or off-balance
-
You're avoiding activities you used to enjoy
-
You grip furniture when walking at home
-
You've had a fall or near-miss recently
-
You feel less confident on uneven surfaces
Balance isn't just about leg strength—it's a whole-body process that requires all your systems working together.

Visual System
Your eyes provide crucial balance information. Problems with eye tracking, depth perception, or visual processing can make you unsteady.
Vestibular System (Inner Ear)
Your inner ear tells your brain where you are in space. Dysfunction here causes dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems that exercises alone won't fix.
Proprioceptive System
Sensors throughout your body tell your brain about position and movement. Joint restrictions, especially in your ankles, hips, and spine, disrupt these signals.
Nervous System Integration
Your brain must coordinate all this information. Stress, past injuries, or neurological issues can affect this processing.
