Balance and Fall Prevention

At our clinics, we have a specialized machine that we can use to test patients’ static balance called the Biosway. The Biosway utilizes a standardized test to predict a person’s risk for falling based on their age.
This device gives us quantitative data to help us assess progress through your physical therapy program.

After the assessment, the physical therapist will come up with a balance or strength exercise program based on your needs. We will also provide patient education on assistive device use if necessary.
The overall goal is to challenge your balance in order to help you improve your strength and help you become more confident with daily activities. We work to gain confidence with stepping up on a curb, performing stairs, walking in the community, or any activity you are struggling with.

Physical therapy will empower you to walk with confidence and avoid a life-altering fall.
