During the 2019-2020 period, falls emerged as the most pressing concern, leading to a significant number of hospitalised injuries and injury-related deaths among older Australians. The alarming figure of 5,000 fatalities linked to falls in the elderly underscores the severity of the issue (AIHW 2023).

Older adults face a higher risk of hospitalised falls due to factors like lower bone density, reduced muscle tone, and conditions affecting balance and eyesight. These issues increase the likelihood of falls, hinder recovery, and diminish the quality of life after a fall (AIHW 2023). This is a stark reminder of the impact of poor balance on an individual and community. 

At Brainstorm Rehabilitation, we understand balance's critical role in daily life. Balance issues can significantly affect one's quality of life, leading to difficulties in walking, standing, and even sitting upright. Disorders of the vestibular system, such as vertigo, unsteadiness, dizziness, or falls, can often be a challenge for the individual's daily life.
