What is the Fall Prevention Program?

Our program combines thorough assessments, targeted exercises, and education to help you improve your balance, strength, and overall stability. Our experienced therapists work with you to develop a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

How Does a Fall Prevention Program Work?

A Fall Prevention Program involves several key components to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness:

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a detailed assessment of your medical history, balance, mobility, and any previous falls to identify risk factors.

Personalized Exercise Plan

Based on the assessment, we create a customized exercise program designed to improve balance, strength, and flexibility. Exercises may include balance training, strength exercises, coordination drills, and flexibility routines.

Education and Training

We provide education on fall prevention strategies, safe movement techniques, and how to make your home environment safer.

Ongoing Support

Regular follow-up sessions to monitor your progress, adjust the program as needed, and ensure you continue to improve.

Assistive Devices

If necessary, we offer guidance on the use of assistive devices such as canes or walkers to enhance your stability.
