Many people experience imbalance and unsteadiness. This can make movement difficult and affect a person's confidence to go out and about.
It's important to speak to your medical professional if you are experiencing any problems with your balance. Attacks of vertigo can cause residual imbalance for some people. Find out more about The Balance System
Balance retraining exercises (vestibular rehabilitation) can be helpful between the attacks of vertigo to help compensate for difficulties with balance. The specific exercise programmes initially need to be done under the supervision of a physiotherapist or hearing therapist. Balance retraining exercises are not suitable for everyone, or all conditions, so it is best for you to check with your doctor to ensure they are appropriate for you.
