Balance is something many of us take for granted — until it feels a little harder.
Our balance system relies on several parts of the body working together:
• the eyes
• the inner ear
• the muscles and joints
• and the brain
Tiny sensory receptors called proprioceptors help the brain understand where the body is positioned and how it is moving. This allows the body to make small adjustments to help keep us steady throughout the day.
Simple balance exercises can help support coordination, confidence and everyday movement at any age.
