Balance Problems/Falls
Unsteadiness and fear of falling are very common, and can occur gradually with aging. Muscle weakness, balance/inner ear sensor problems, neuropathy, decline in activity, or recent medical complications can be causes of imbalance. NeuroBalance Physical Therapy has over 30 years of experience in helping people overcome this condition. On your first visit, specific tests are carefully chosen based on your medical history and symptoms. You will learn about the functions of the balance system, and the cause of your unsteadiness. Results are measured along the way, allowing you to achieve the best therapy outcomes possible. If you choose, we will also address nutrition and overall fitness. Particular balance, strength, and walking exercises are prescribed for each individual, ensuring that you have the most effective and efficient recovery. Timelines for recovery are addressed, so you know what to expect regarding the duration and frequency of your Physical Therapy. Most people have clinic sessions every 2 weeks, and perform the exercises at home daily. Clinic sessions can be more or less frequent, depending on your condition, lifestyle, and distance from the clinic.
