The Point Where Recovery Begins

Prevention of Falls and Balance Training Program

We have developed an extensive treatment program to serve those experiencing balance difficulties. Poor balance can lead to an increased risk of falling. Among the elderly, falls are one of the more serious health concerns.

Our Balance Training Program first focuses on identifying the factors affecting your balance:

• Muscular strength
• Vestibular function
• Vision
• Reaction time
• Risk factors in your physical environment

First, the factors affecting your balance will be measured and discussed with your physical therapist. Our therapeutic exercise program targets all of the components of the physiological system that control balance - the visual, vestibular, somatosensory, and musculoskeletal.

We have the latest equipment available, such as: the Physioball, Bosu, Foam Roller and Foam Mat, Trampoline, and many others. Your exercise program is tailored to your specific needs.

Westwood Physical Therapy's Balance Training Program will improve your balance, reduce your risk of falls, and make a major difference in your quality of life.
