Balance can decline with age as the inner-ear, vision, muscle strength, sensation, and reaction systems change, which can make you feel less steady and raise the risk of falls. Physiotherapy trains balance, strength, and the vestibular system to keep you steady and confident on your feet.

When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- A fall causing injury or a head knock, especially if you take blood-thinning medicine
- Sudden severe dizziness with weakness or slurred speech
- For these, seek urgent care
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
