Don’t let a fear of falling keep you from being active.

The good news is that there clinically proven ways to prevent most falls and we can help.

A collaborative effort between your doctor and our physical therapy team can make a difference.

It Starts with a Thorough Evaluation

Physical therapy starts with a thorough evaluation of your health & fall risk factors. We will then set up on on a personalized prevention program to address the findings we identify during your initial visit.

Evaluation and Treatment May Involve One or More of the Following:

• Strength testing
• Flexibility testing
• Walking (gait) patterns
• Your health history
• Sight and hearing screenings
• Blood pressure
• Assistive/adaptive device use & education
• Footwear recommendations
• Review of your medications & side effects along with your physician
• Strength training
• Balance training
• Flexibility exercises
• Visual exercises
• Functional exercises
• Weight-bearing exercises
• Sleep hygiene
• Risk reduction/modification education
• A personalized home program

Everyone is different so treatment programs will vary. The best thing you can do is contact our office and schedule an initial evaluation for balance treatment & our fall prevention program. In most cases, insurance will cover it.
