Shoes aren’t the only things that contribute to a strong foundation. As you age, changes in your inner ear may cause challenges to your balance. When you struggle to maintain balance during exercise, it is likely that you will perform them incorrectly. Our CPOs are experienced in helping you address both your footing and your balance.
