Balance Matters: Let’s Keep You on Your Feet

Your physical therapist isn’t just here to help you move better—we’re also your go-to partner for staying steady and confident on your feet. We’re trained in both the art and science of spotting and treating movement and balance issues, especially those tied to muscle, joint, and nervous system conditions.

The (Not-So-Fun) Facts

  • 1 in 3 adults over 65 takes a tumble each year.
  • Falls are the #1 cause of injury and accidental death for people over 85.
  • In just one year, 15,800 older adults lost their lives from fall-related injuries.
  • Around 1.8 million people over 65 ended up in the ER after a fall (CDC).

Yikes, right? But here’s the good news—there’s a lot we can do to lower your risk.

Common Fall Risk Factors

  • Age (wisdom comes with years… but so does higher risk)
  • Vision problems
  • Weak muscles
  • Being on 4+ medications
  • A history of falls
  • Medical conditions like diabetes, arthritis, stroke, or walking difficulties
  • Fear of falling (yes, that fear itself can make you more likely to fall)

Your PT Fall-Fighting Game Plan

We’ll start with a full fall-risk assessment, checking your:
