Physiotherapy treatment will benefit a person with decreased balance by improving posture, facilitating normal movement, increasing sensation and muscle strength. Physiotherapy treatment will improve balance by focusing on:

Activities to increase awareness of midline
Decreasing risk of falls
Increasing confidence mobilising
Exercises to improve movement of the pelvis
Exercises to strengthen weak muscles in the arms, legs and trunk
Weight transference in sitting or standing to ensure that weight is equally distributed
Mirror therapy to increase proprioception (awareness of limbs in space)
Use of specialist equipment such as Swiss balls, trampetes, wobble boards and parallel bars to activate weak muscles and stimulate normal feedback
Breaking down activities such as sit to stand or gait into smaller and simple chunks
Cueing and movement strategies
Sensory therapy using everyday items
Hydrotherapy
