Balance & Fall Prevention

How Can Balance and Fall Prevention Help?

Physical Therapy can be very helpful at improving balance, strength, and potentially reducing both risk and fear of falling.

Balance and Fall Prevention programs typically consist of functional based, full-body exercises and specific balance exercises designed to challenge both static and dynamic balance. You can think of your overall balance as receiving input from 3 distinct systems: proprioception, visual, and vestibular. All 3 systems can be trained and improved – we are experts at targeting each system individually, to maximize your potential improvement. We have parallel bars and other equipment needed to make sure these exercises are performed safely in our clinic, and then you will be given homework for home that can be performed safely.
