What Causes Balance Issues?… And Why Am I Still at Risk of Falling?

Falls and balance issues often happen due to:

Muscle weakness (especially in the legs and core)
Poor posture or body alignment
Reduced flexibility or joint stiffness
Slower reaction times
Inner ear or vision changes
Medications causing dizziness or drowsiness
Past injuries leading to fear or cautious movement
Unsafe home environments

Why is my balance still not improving?

You may not be following a targeted balance retraining program
You’re focusing on general exercise
You haven’t had a personalised assessment to uncover your risk factors
Your confidence may be low
You’re not addressing the root cause
You may be relying on aids without strengthening the muscles that support balance
Your rehab plan might not be challenging enough to create real change

Frequently Asked Questions About Balance And Falls Issues

Common causes include weak leg or core muscles, joint stiffness, inner ear or vision problems, medication side effects, and lack of regular movement. Slower reflexes and unsafe home environments also play a big role.

If you’ve had a recent fall or near-miss, feel unsteady when walking, or need to hold onto furniture for support, you may be at risk. A professional balance assessment can help you know for sure.

If you’re feeling unsteady, have fallen recently, or are worried about losing independence, now is the right time to see a physical therapist. Early intervention prevents serious injuries and builds long-term confidence.

Many people notice improvements within a few sessions, but lasting results come with consistent, personalised care. Every plan is tailored to your needs and progress.

Yes—and you should! The right type of exercise, guided by a professional, can strengthen the muscles that support your balance and reduce your fall risk safely.

Stay active, do balance-specific training, review your medications, and make your home safer. Working with a physio can help you build strength and regain confidence on your feet.

You may not be addressing the root cause, or your current routine might not be challenging the balance systems enough. A tailored physiotherapy plan can help you move from temporary fixes to long-term change.
