Every year, 1 in 3 adults 65 years or older falls. For older adults, long-term consequences of falls such as hip fractures, traumatic brain injury, and fear of falling can significantly decrease quality of life and independent living.
In our Fall and Balance Clinic, our licensed physical therapists are experienced in treating balance and gait impairments. Our physical therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation using outcome scales that help identify your risk of falling, and work with you to develop a personalized plan of care and a home exercise program.
