Balance Training and Fall Prevention

A major part of healthy aging is keeping a healthy balance system. According to the CDC, falls caused over 38,000 deaths in persons over aged 65 in 2021.

The balance system is comprised of anticipatory reactions (the ability to anticipate a balance reaction and act accordingly) reactive reactions (the ability to act quick when an unexpected balance reaction is required) and sensory reactions (the ability to sense the body’s position in the environment and react accordingly). This system is expressed in our walking, our posture, and our everyday movements.

At Audia Physical Therapy, we offer preventative therapy services to keep you moving strong and prevent falls before they occur. Our clients learn movement retraining programs to build confidence and stability in daily movement.

With our Solo Step system (overhead harness) you can feel confident targeting your balance where you need it most in the safety of the harness.
