Balance Training

Balance is a trainable skill at any age. We assess your static and dynamic balance and progressively challenge it in safe, structured stages.

The same approach is used for older adults concerned about falls, athletes returning from ankle injury, and people recovering from neurological conditions.

• Falls prevention in older adults
• Recurrent ankle sprains and proprioceptive loss
• Recovery after stroke or other neurological conditions
• Vertigo-related balance loss (with appropriate screening)
• Sport-specific agility and landing control
• Confidence on stairs, uneven ground and crowded spaces

1. Balance ScreenStandardised tests — single-leg stance, tandem walk, Berg or Tinetti where appropriate.
2. Risk StratificationWe identify the systems contributing — visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, strength.
3. Targeted DrillsDrills aimed at the deficient system, not generic balance pads.
4. ProgressionSurface, vision, dual-task and speed are layered in over weeks.
5. Real-World PracticeStairs, kerbs, busy environments — we practise the contexts that matter.

Sessions are safe and supervised. Equipment ranges from a simple line on the floor to wobble boards and dual-task drills.

Typically 8–12 sessions, with home practice between visits.

Acute vertigo without screening, severe lower-limb pain, very high fall-risk patients without appropriate support — we adapt the setting accordingly.

• Standardised outcome measures used to show change
• Special focus on dual-task balance for everyday life
• Strong link with our gait and neurological rehab work
