Risk factors that make you more likely to fall: weakness, difficulties with walking and balance, certain medications, surgery, deconditioning, vision problems, foot pain or poor footwear, home hazards, vestibular issues, flexibility, and difficulty with obstacles in the community.

Our balance and fall prevention program includes a full assessment that will allow your physical therapist to develop an individualized program that is specific to your needs. Your PT will work with you 1-on-1 to progress your abilities and achieve your goals.
