Balance Program

Feeling a bit off balance?

Every 11 seconds an older adult is treated in an emergency room for a fall-related injury. Many older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. The good news is that many falls can be prevented.

How we interact with the ground dictates how successfully we move and stay vertical. Balance control is necessary to maintain stability while rising from a chair, walking, turning and performing other everyday life activities.

Our skilled professionals will assess your balance and if medically necessary will develop a personalized program that is right for you. That may include physical therapy. Balance classses and personal training is also available at an additional cost.

If your assessment determines that physical therapy is medically necessary your insurance will be billed. Most types of insurance are accepted and cover therapy.

Appointments are required. Cost of the assessment is $50. For information or to schedule a balance assessment, call 561-263-5775.
