    Physical Therapy for Balance & Fall Protection

    balance4Falls and the risk of falls happen as our bodies age due to a variety of reasons that include weakness, spinal stenosis, vertigo, visual loss, and/or decreased function of the vestibular system (inner ear). The consequences of falling can be life threatening. Seniors at risk of falling should take steps to decrease their fall risk.

    Are You at Risk for Falling?

    • Previous stroke or general weakness
    • Diabetic Neuropathy (sensation loss in feet)
    • Spinal stenosis
    • Poor coordination
    • Visual loss or vertigo
    • Loss of balance with walking
    • Change in mental status
    • Multiple medications
    • Vestibular System Hypo-Function

    Our physical therapy programs at Reid Clinic evaluate the primary and secondary risk factors causing loss of balance and design a specific program to improve overall well-being and decrease the chance of falling.

    UntitledVestibular System Hypo-Function Defined

    You have a semicircular canal in the inner ear in each dimension (Superior, Lateral, Posterior) filled with endolymph fluid that pushes hair cells, activating nerves in the cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Your brain integrates these signals to maintain balance. As the body ages, the Vestibular System may slow down causing increased unsteadiness with walking and standing.

    If so, you can ask a physical therapy expert at Reid Clinic.

    Testimonials

    My doctor's office referred me to Reid Clinic after back surgery. Reid gave me physical therapy treatments in the office that helped control the pain. He also showed me exercises I can do at home, so I can manage the pain on my own. Reid and his staff are all friendly and highly competent. They make it a pleasure to go to the clinic. I’m pleased with the results I got at Reid Clinic. I have already recommended them and will continue to recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy.

    First Clinic I have been to that I got treated by the same therapist every time!

    Reid Clinic presents a welcoming and thoroughly professional environment, and treats the "whole patient" - not just symptoms. All patient questions are answered in a language anyone can understand- huge plus when so often a condition requiring physical therapy is described in "med-speak" that most of us cannot sort out.

    I walked only a few feet with a walker, had back pain, neuropathy, and multiple falls. After a short time at Reid Clinic, my back pain was gone, and I was able to walk unaided and haven't fallen. My family and friends say I've made a remarkable recovery. I am so grateful to have my life back. I highly recommend their state of the art facility.

    Reid Physical Therapy has met and exceeded my expectations after having a full knee replacement. My treatment was planned and personally carried out by Reid, the Physical Therapist, himself. Reid listened and is informative. He and his staff are personable and encouraging. Best of all - my therapy has been pain free. In the short time I have been here, I have gained strength and full range of motion. Thank you for making this possible for me.
