Today, we pause to honour and remember the brave men and women of Newfoundland and Labrador who served and sacrificed in times of conflict. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness continue to shape our province and our nation.
As we reflect on their legacy, may we carry forward their spirit of service, unity, and resilience.

We remember. We honour. We thank them.

Newfoundland Balance & Dizziness Centre is a physiotherapy clinic dedicated to providing specialized assessment and treatment services for those with dizziness, loss of balance and fear of falling.

NL Balance & Dizziness staff use state of the art balance and vertigo assessment tools to assist with diagnosis of a person’s dizziness and imbalance. The clinic is designed and equipped with fall prevention safety equipment that allows for safe balance training and walking without the fear or risk of falling.

Dizziness and vertigo can occur from many conditions such as inner ear crystals or infections; neurological conditions such as stroke; traumatic injuries such as whiplash and concussion; and anxiety or low blood pressure. Proper diagnosis can lead to beneficial treatment that can ease these symptoms and return a person to their normal activities.

The staff at NL Balance & Dizziness Centre look forward to helping our community ease the symptom burden and health care concerns caused by dizziness, falls and imbalance.

Throwback to when our crew took on a fun balance step challenge — steady feet, plenty of laughs, and maybe a bit of drifting along the way. 😉

Turns out, keeping your balance isn’t just about standing still — it’s about trusting your body to keep you steady (and having a laugh while you’re at it!). 😂

Think you could do better? Come on in and give it a go — we’ll be cheering you on! 🙌
