𦩠THIS WEEK IS BALANCE AWARENESS WEEK!
13β19 September 2026
π Balance Awareness Week is a global initiative led by VeDA (Vestibular Disorders Association), dedicated to raising awareness of balance loss, vertigo, dizziness, and other vestibular disorders.
π«ΆπΌ While many balance disorders may not have a cure, early diagnosis, appropriate support, and effective strategies for managing symptoms can make a meaningful difference to quality of life.
π‘ Did you know that vestibular disorders can also be associated with concussion? Head trauma can affect the brain, neck and inner ear, potentially disrupting the vestibular system and causing symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, and balance difficulties.
β¨ Increasing awareness and understanding can help people recognise symptoms, seek appropriate support, and feel less alone in their experience.
