I was a wall-walker for a few years, and decided to try to re-train my brain to have some sense of balance. It wasn't easy at first . . . but this cheap little contraption helped out considerably (I think it only cost me about $5, from Jysk):

I don't do any exercise that has the potential to "jar" my spine, and this doesn't. What I really liked about it though, especially in the beginning, was that it was only about 2" from the floor (and I could hold onto a wall), so I didn't have far to fall if I lost my balance. Also, I like that you can do it at your own pace, so you can start out really slow.

Glad to hear you are trying to find a way to get your footing back, tkrik.
