@mustii - Each person is different with various balance issues. I happen to have drop foot. I need to wear ankle foot orthotics (AFO) both feet. My balance therapy involved about 12 different exercises specifically geared to my balance issues. For example, there were step-up and step-down exercises to left and right holding on to a support bar. Close eyes and try to stand for more than 7-8 seconds. Hands over support bar, about 8 steps left and then right and back again. Place one foot in front of the other hands over support bar. Other patients had different exercises than me. It involves body strength and core strength. I went for 1 hour 2 - 3 days a week. Medicare will only pay for about $2300 per year. I find it helpful and plan to return in the fall.
