Targeted eye stabilization exercises ensure that the field of vision remains stable during head movements and that nothing is blurred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scientifically proven: Systematic review studies clearly show that vestibular rehabilitation therapy improves walking safety and prevents falls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prescription outside the doctor\u2019s budget: Many doctors have to prescribe sparingly, but for older people with balance problems and a risk of falling, a special need for prescription often arises. The prescription (physiotherapy or occupational therapy) usually does not even fall within the practice\u2019s budget!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 Would you like to understand the causes, tests, and targeted training for age-related dizziness in detail?
