Balance & Fall Prevention
While falls are not a normal part of aging, falls are the second leading cause of accidental death in the United States with 75% happening in older adults.Tidewater Physical Therapy keeps patients on their feet.
Older adults are at greater risk of falling when they lose strength and flexibility or develop balance, vision or hearing problems. Compounding that risk: taking multiple medications, inactivity, blood pressure problems and the fear of falling.
Neurological disease or dysfunction can also contribute to an individual’s risk for fall.
Physical therapy and vestibular rehabilitation can improve the quality of life for individuals with chronic diseases including Multiple sclerosis, Ménière’s disease, Parkinson’s, and stroke.
Tidewater Physical Therapy helps keep patients on their feet. We help prevent falls with therapies designed to improve strength, flexibility and balance as well as as needed education and assistive devices. Patients leave our program with individualized exercise routines designed to improve balance and with renewed confidence in their own self-sufficiency.
