Balance problems arise from inner ear disorders, neurological conditions, muscle weakness, or aging. Symptoms include dizziness, unsteadiness, vertigo, and difficulty walking. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an effective treatment, focusing on head and eye coordination exercises. Strength training, proprioception exercises, and postural correction improve stability. Assistive devices like canes or walkers provide additional support. Physiotherapy helps retrain the brain for better balance control. Identifying underlying causes and making necessary lifestyle changes prevent falls and injuries.
