Description:

Mental health is a critical but often overlooked aspect of overall health. Research has shown that mental stress can have detrimental effects on physical health, including balance impairments, in healthy adults. Balance is a crucial physiological function that impacts daily activities and quality of life. Imbalance due to mental stress can increase the risk of falls, injuries, and other health issues, particularly in the aging population.
