Have you fallen in the past? Do you feel more unsteady with balance issues affecting your daily activities? Have you noticed walking has become more of a challenge especially on uneven surfaces? Have you started using a cane or walker recently or has this been suggested by someone you know who noticed how much difficulty you have getting around? Are you finding yourself withdrawing from social outings due to your fear or apprehension of falling? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are not alone! Many people begin to experience these problems naturally with increasing age.
If you or someone you know is suffering from this problem…there is hope! Physical therapy can be an effective treatment option for many who are experiencing balance disorders. An evaluation that is performed by a physical therapist can help identify what contributing factors or problems you have that may be resulting in poor balance or stability. A well designed program can help improve your balance reactions, muscle strength, and confidence with your mobility.

When two recent falls ended up with my being taken to Emergency, my doctor prescribed physical therapy. So at 92 years of age, I entered a new world and saw what physical therapy was doing for others and now for me. The program not only improved my strength and balance, but also provided an unexpected benefit. I will call it a sense of awareness. It is a way of thinking about what I am doing and I expect it will greatly reduce the number of future falls. I give credit to John Zieour and his remarkable staff for making this possible. John is not “running a business”, he and his friendly staff are on a mission to help all of us with our individual needs. |
