How do you feel about falling?

As someone whose father died from a fall and has numerous conditions that impinge on balance I would second those who recommend PT. The Mayo PT people I have seen are the best and their exercises have made me considerably more stable. Understand that depending on your condition it may take months before you see progress. Good luck to all those dealing with various issues.

@oldguide Thanks for chiming in on the value of getting help from PT and/or OT experts with movement and lifestyle issues. As you mention, patience and consistency are key for change. Glad to hear you're feeling more stable!
