About balance

Balance is a skill that responds to practice at any age. Short, regular balance exercises, strength training for the legs, good footwear and regular eye checks all help reduce fall risk.
Ask for a professional assessment (doctor or physiotherapist) if you've fallen in the past year, feel unsteady, are afraid of falling, feel dizzy when standing, or have started new medications.
