Balance and fall prevention

We help people improve strength, balance and confidence to prevent falls with personalized therapies and support for greater safety and independence.

At TidalHealth, we help you stay steady on your feet. Loss of balance or fear of falling can make daily life challenging, especially as we age. Our team takes a caring, practical approach to fall prevention, focusing on building strength, confidence and independence.

Our physical therapists use proven techniques to restore joint mobility and improve stability. Services include:

  • Balance training
  • Strengthening and conditioning programs
  • Ambulation training

We also offer the Otago Exercise Program, designed for older adults to reduce fall risk. This includes a personal evaluation, ongoing guidance from a physical therapist, and a home-based routine combining balance, strength training and walking exercises, all tailored to your abilities.

Education and support are available for you, your family and caregivers. At TidalHealth, we help you stay safe, active and independent at home and in the community.
