Here at Transitions Physiotherapy we are vestibular and neurological trained so we can comprehensively assess your balance and let you know specifically what you can do to improve your balance.

It’s Balance Awareness Week ⚖️🧘‍♀️

Balance isn’t a physical skill mastered by gymnasts, athletes, or yoga lovers – it’s a complex neurological process your brain is managing every second. 🧠

Your nervous system is constantly interpreting signals from three key systems to keep you on your feet:
👀 Visual system – your eyes help you understand your position in space
💪 Proprioceptive system – your muscles & joints tell your brain about body position and movement
👂 Vestibular system – your inner ear detects head movement & orientation

If any of these systems are disrupted, dizziness and other vestibular symptoms can occur.

For example, migraine (vestibular migraine), Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, Meniere's disease, and brain injuries can all impact balance.

Treatments are varied and will depend on your underlying diagnosis and symptoms.

How does balance affect you in your everyday life? 💫

If you have Parkinson’s Disease take a look at taking part in this survey researching diet and PD.

🥦 Have You Changed Your Diet Since Being Diagnosed with Parkinson’s?
Researchers at Curtin University want to hear from you.
🧠 Diet and gut health may influence the progression of Parkinson’s. Foods common in a Western diet—like refined sugars, saturated fats, and high-calorie meals—could contribute to inflammation and gut changes linked to symptoms.
This study aims to understand:
• What dietary changes people with Parkinson’s are making
• Why they’re making them
• Whether these changes relate to mood, symptoms, or quality of life
💻 Take part by completing a 1-hour online questionnaire about your diet, symptoms, and mood.
✔️ Eligibility: Aged 18+, diagnosed with Parkinson’s, able to complete an online survey. No travel required.
👉 Start the survey: https://curtin.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cNKJnDfhvJ4gko6

💬 Meet the Researcher: Asha Callaghan, an Honours student at Curtin University, who was inspired by her grandmother’s diagnosis to explore nutrition and wellbeing in Parkinson’s.

So important to be aware of visual changes with PD to get the right support to live better.

Some vision changes can be normal and age-related. Others can progress as a non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease.
