Are the symptoms weird?

Hello @rplg, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @emo @jwkelly72 @ray666 and others. Like @emo has suggested, I also have been concerned about my balance and have been doing a few different exercises but I setup an appointment with a physical therapist last week and was really happy that I did. He showed me several different exercises that I can do at home to help with the balance. I have difficulty doing them but loved my conversation with him when he mentioned we have to retrain the brain. I said, oh, you mean using neuroplasticity? He's eyes lit up and he said exactly! Here are a couple of videos of the exercises he showed me. Both are difficult for me and I need to be close to a wall or railing for the tandem walking and next to a chair or railing for the single leg stance.

Have you thought about working with a physical therapist to help your balance problem?
