Balance Training & Falls Prevention

The aging process inevitably impacts balance and gait posing increasing risks for falls in the geriatric population.  Effective balance and fall recovery strategies involve complex dynamics of strength, flexibility, posture and stability.  As balance deteriorates so too does the quality of life as individuals become more reliant on adaptive equipment and participate less in activities of interest due to the fear of falling. This results in a downward spiral which only accelerates the balance troubles and risks of falling. 

 

In order to effectively restore balance, a multifaceted approach must be employed which improves all dynamics of balance including strength, flexibility and stability.  Our physical therapists are well versed in the latest treatment techniques and protocols to maximize your restoration of balance and reduce your risks of falls in the quickest time possible.  

 

All services are provided one-one-one with our expert doctor of physical therapy providers. We utilize a "hands-on" approach with a variety of manual therapy techniques that provide superior outcomes. Each treatment is custom designed to your individual treatment needs.
