15) Improve Balance, Relieve Childhood AnxietyWritten by Rick Nauhert, PhD

ABSTRACT – “Many of the 40 million American adults who suffer from anxiety disorders also have problems with balance.

As increasing numbers of children are diagnosed with anxiety, researchers have discovered that the link between balance and anxiety can be assessed at an early age and that something can be done about it before it becomes a problem.”
