Fall Prevention

Did you know that 1/3 of people over 65 fall annually? In addition, almost half of all people over the age of 80 fall at least once per year. Our fall prevention programs can help!

Synaptic Physical Therapy can:

• Assess your personal fall risk through balance testing
• Perform home safety assessments and make fall risk reduction recommendations
• Do a cognition screen and test your abilities to do multiple things at once (a contributor to falls)
• Assess your feet and footwear
• Check your leg strength
• Assess your walking ability
• Provide education about falls and about medical risk factors you have that are associated with falls
• Create individualized exercise and fitness programs that address your balance and fall risk
