According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in four adults aged 65 and older will fall each year, but many of these falls are preventable with the right precautions and support.

Fortunately, outpatient therapy programs are designed specifically to help older adults address balance issues before they become a risk. These programs focus on improving strength, flexibility, and coordination, all of which are essential for maintaining stability and preventing falls.

Outpatient therapy offers personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your specific needs. Physical therapists are trained to assess your balance, gait, and overall physical health. From there, they create a customized treatment plan that addresses any weaknesses, imbalances, or movement patterns that might contribute to a fall risk.

• Strengthening exercises
• Posture and alignment training
• Balance-specific exercises
• Gait retraining
• Confidence building

Outpatient therapy is tailored to your specific needs and abilities. Therapists work closely with you, adjusting the program as your strength and balance improve, ensuring that you’re always working at the right level of challenge.

Therapists are also there for you every step of the way, offering encouragement, guidance, and modifications as necessary. The progress may take time, but with consistent effort, you’ll see results that carry over into your everyday life.
