Balance/Fall Risk/Vestibular
“Each year, millions of older people – those 65 and older – fall. Falling once doubles your chances of falling again.” – Center for Disease Control
Our Physical Therapists design individual fall prevention programs. These fall prevention programs decrease fall risk, increase confidence with functional mobility, limit future falls and increase independence with community activity and Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s). Physical Therapy is an effective treatment for the symptoms of Vestibular Disorders. The symptoms include dizziness or vertigo. The Physical Therapy treatment should be provided by a qualified physical therapist.
Industrial Rehabilitation
We provide evaluation and rehabilitation of individuals that have functional disabilities as a result of work-related injuries.
Gravity Eliminated
The Alter G treadmill leads the way in unweighting or gravity eliminated therapy. This environment assists our patients in recovery from surgery or injury and often allows rehabilitation to start sooner. It is also an amazing device to manage neurological conditions, assist in weight loss and actively exercise patients that are a fall risk. Athletes also benefit from the Alter G as it allows training while minimizing the risk of stress-related injuries.
