Balance and Fall Prevention

Our Physical therapist will evaluate these systems and design a Physical therapy program, that will incorporate training one or all of these areas, improving your stability and confidence, while decreasing your risk for falls.

Levi Hospital Physical therapy incorporates tools including an overhead harness system, biodex balance trainer, aquatic therapy as well as many other tools.

Each year, millions of older people—those 65 and older—fall. In fact, more than one out of four older people falls each year, but less than half tell their doctor. Falling once doubles your chances of falling again.

• One out of five falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury.
• More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, usually by falling sideways.
