Balance Impairment

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of three adults age 65 and older falls each year. Among this population, falls are the leading cause of injury death and are also the most common cause of non-fatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma.

At Balance & Vestibular Center Physical Therapy, each patient receives a thorough evaluation by a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy in order to determine patient-specific impairments that lead to an increased risk of falls. A unique fall prevention treatment plan is created including balance/proprioception exercises, gait training and a total body strengthening program.
