At Level Up Physical Therapy we are experts in balance and falls prevention. We offer free fall screenings to the community and provide effective balance and gait treatments to reduce your risk of falls. 

​

One of our four doctors of physical therapy can provide CDC recommended STEADI balance screening free of charge on a walk-in basis or by appointment or if you already know that you need physical therapy you can walk in or call for a balance/fall prevention physical therapy evaluation and treatment - covered by Medicare.

​

Your sense of balance is impacted by three sensory systems: vision, inner ear and feeling of the ground/body position. Strength and movement coordination and fear of falling also profoundly affect balance. Sometimes balance can be affected by issues with your back or circulaton changes to your legs. These components do change with age or life events like stroke and other conditions but they usually improve with proper physical therapy.

 

Falling is a big deal, it is the leading cause of hip fractures and it is estimated that an older adult dies from a fall related injury every 20 seconds. Our balance screenings and treatments can prevent costly injuries, maximize independence and save lives!  Call or visit us now to get started with one of our balance experts!
