If you find yourself feeling dizzy it could be a sign of a balance problem.
Balance problems are among the most common reasons that older adults seek help from a doctor (*NIH Senior Health).
In 2008, an estimated 14.8 percent of American adults (33.4 million) had a balance or dizziness problem during the past year. (*NIH Senior Health).
Balance helps you to:
1. walk without staggering
2. sit in a chair without falling
3. climb stairs without tripping
4. bend over without falling
