Balance and Fall Prevention
As we age, many postural, strength, and flexibility changes can occur. There may also be loss of balance with age and lead to frequent falls, which can be debilitating. Lack of balance can be caused by to overall lower extremity strength or inner ear problems, also known as vestibular dysfunction.
CVPT’s Fall Prevention and Balance Training program helps patients who experience instability or imbalance prevent future falls and restore balance.
