Balance

Good balance isn’t just about standing still—it’s about confidence, control, and preventing injury. At Access Physical Therapy, we help patients of all ages improve their stability, coordination, and movement control, so they can walk, turn, and move through life with strength and security.

What It Is

Balance issues can arise from a range of factors, including:

• Weakness or instability in the legs and core

• Inner ear (vestibular) dysfunction

• Neurological conditions

• Aging-related changes

• Previous injuries or falls

• Poor posture or coordination

Impaired balance often goes unnoticed until it leads to a near fall—or an actual injury. That’s why early intervention is key.

What to Expect

Our balance training programs are personalized based on your needs, goals, and risk factors. Your care may include:

• Targeted strength training for the hips, core, and lower body

• Static and dynamic balance exercises

• Gait training and obstacle navigation

• Visual and vestibular integration work

• Fall prevention education and safety strategies

• Real-world movement simulations (stairs, curbs, turning, etc.)

We assess your movement patterns, test your limits safely, and build a plan that helps you trust your body again.

Who It’s For

• Older adults looking to maintain independence and avoid falls

• Individuals recovering from stroke, concussion, or neurological conditions

• Patients with dizziness, unsteadiness, or coordination issues

• Athletes returning to dynamic or reactive sports

• Anyone who feels off balance during everyday activity

Why It Matters

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury—and they’re often preventable. With balance-focused physical therapy, you can build the strength and body awareness to move with confidence, reduce your fall risk, and stay active and independent.
