Balance Screening and Training

Balance is a vital skill that helps us move through life with ease and confidence. But sometimes, balance problems can interfere with our daily activities and increase our risk of falling. That’s why physical therapy can be a great option for anyone who wants to improve their balance and stability.

One of the benefits of physical therapy is that it can help you improve your balance by working on three systems in your body: your visual system, your vestibular system and your proprioceptive system1. These systems work together to give your brain information about where your body is and how it is moving in relation to your surroundings.

Sometimes, these systems can be impaired or disrupted by various factors, such as aging, injury, disease or medication. This can cause you to feel dizzy, unsteady or off-balance. Physical therapy can help you restore or improve the function of these systems by using exercises, equipment and techniques that challenge and train them to work better together.

Physical therapy can also help you with other aspects of balance, such as posture, strength, flexibility, endurance and confidence. Your physical therapist will design a personalized plan for you based on your goals, needs and abilities. They will also monitor your progress and adjust your program as needed.

Physical therapy can help you regain or maintain your balance and enjoy a better quality of life.
