Bringing physical balance & stability back to your life.

Falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries to older people in the United States and can be the most costly, especially when bone fractures result. We treat your balance difficulty by looking at the cause. We then help you avoid or better manage risk factors that compromise your sense of balance and security.

Balance problems can be caused by central nervous system (involving the brain) disease, local muscle weakness, substance abuse or environmental hazards. Our treatment is therefore multifaceted – ranging from strength and endurance training to vestibular exercises to home environmental modifications and posture education.

We have the training, experience and tools to help you fight loss of balance and related problems:

• Visual-perceptual difficulty
• Postural instability
• Impaired mobility
• Lower extremity weakness
• Vertigo & dizziness
• Orthostatic hypotension

You deserve freedom of movement regardless of your age.

We can help bring back the equilibrium in your life by restoring your basic functional abilities and movement independence. Talk to one of our balance therapy clinicians to learn how balance training and fall prevention can work for you.
