Physical therapy is a highly effective way to improve balance and stability. Our skilled physical therapists will start with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your balance problems. Then, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that may include: Targeted Exercises To improve your strength, coordination, and reaction time, we might strengthen your leg and core muscles, practice balance exercises like single-leg stance or tandem stance, improve your range of motion, and refine your walking patterns with gait training. Functional Activities We’ll teach you how to execute functional activities, like walking, turning your head while walking or standing, reaching for something on a shelf while standing, and carrying objects. Proprioceptive Training This focuses on improving your “sixth sense” – your body’s awareness of its position in space. By challenging your balance with exercises on unstable surfaces or with your eyes closed, you can retrain your body to react more quickly and efficiently to changes in your environment.
