Balance Awareness Week
September 14-20, 2008
The twelfth annual Balance Awareness Week takes place September 14-20, 2008. VEDA established Balance Awareness Week in 1997 to raise awareness about the importance of balance as a “sixth sense.”
What is the purpose of Balance Awareness Week?
Getting treatment for a balance disorder is frequently complicated by difficulty in diagnosing the specific source of the problem. Moreover, the impact on an individual's work, family, and personal life is often made worse by the disorder's “invisibility” to others. Balance Awareness Week was created to improve public understanding of balance disorders and their impact on the lives of affected individuals of all ages.
