ave you been feeling dizzy and unsteady? Afraid of falling or have issues with vertigo? When we don’t feel safe walking, going up and down stairs, or moving around in general, our world becomes very small very quickly. Our daily activities turn into impossible chores. Our social
life may suffer because we have to give up activities—golf, tennis, pickleball, and so on—that we enjoy with our friends. We will withdraw, become isolated, and depression may set in. To live a full and healthy life, we need to have a properly functioning sense of balance.
