Balance & Aging in Place

Do you fear that you or someone you love may experience a fall? Did you know that falls are the number one preventable reason why seniors are hospitalized? Balance, like a muscle, can and will get better with the right training and exercises.

Most aging adults would agree that aging in place is the ideal. Living at home gives aging adults more independence and autonomy and comfort. Many senior living facilities can charge upwards of $5,000 per month, and aren’t fully covered by insurance plans..

Aging in place is a great option for a lot of aging adults if the proper preparations have been made to make the home safe, and also if that adult has taken the steps to prevent falls and to exercise routinely to maintain their strength.

Physiotherapy Works excels in creating custom exercise programs for each individual based on their goals. As well, our therapists are trained in balance and vestibular programs to reduce one’s risk for falls. Call us today to get you or your loved on on track to improving their balance and reducing their fall risk.
