“I cant say enough about you and your staff!” “I would like to thank everyone at Preferred Physical Therapy especially Trevor. I cant say enough about you and your staff! before arriving I was reading everything on the internet regarding my Vertigo I had very little hope. While spending time talking with Trevor in his office he took his time and explained everything to me in detail Trevor is so skilled at listening and understanding and compassionate on what he is doing. Trevor then did some maneuvers on me and I’m now 100% cured it’s unbelievable he is simply the best!” - Fred

(954) 360-7779 For more details, look on our website at www.pptFL.com People with poor balance may feel unstable, or notice that they have difficulty walking in a straight line. They may also modify how they walk, and appear to “waddle”. Foot or foot-related problems may affect a person’s skeletal alignment and their gait, resulting in poor balance and an increased risk of falling. It is projected that in 2020 the costs associated with falls in the USA will be $43 Billion. Many studies have been performed to look at the efficacy of orthotics on balance and posture. In one particular study, the researches objectively measured balance in individuals that had taken a fall in the past year. They then provided custom orthotics to each individual in the group and retested balance over a period of time. The results provided evidence that customized orthotics improved balance measures for older adults. If you or a loved one is unstable and prone to falls, contact us for a free 15 minute GaitScan in our Deerfield clinic to see if orthotics might help.
