Balance or Falls
Physical therapy can be very effective in improving balance and reducing the risk of falls in individuals of all ages. Here are some ways that we can help with balance and falls:
Assessment: We can perform an evaluation to assess an individual's balance and identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to their risk of falling.
Exercise: We can design specific exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and balance. These exercises may include activities such as walking on uneven surfaces, standing on one foot, and using resistance bands.
Assistive devices: We can also help you adjust or customize assistive devices such as canes or walkers to help with balance.
Gait training: We can help you improve their gait or walking pattern, which can improve balance and reduce the risk of falls.
Home modifications: We can suggest modifications to your home, such as removing tripping hazards, installing grab bars, or improving lighting, to reduce the risk of falls.
