Physical Therapists Help Improve Balance and Prevent Falls
Good balance is something most people take for granted — until it starts to decline. Whether due to age, injury, or a medical condition, balance problems can increase the risk of falls and make daily activities feel more difficult. At Ishitani Health Center, our licensed physical therapists specialize in helping patients restore stability, confidence, and independence through personalized balance and fall-prevention programs.
Physical therapy plays a crucial role in identifying the underlying causes of balance issues. Your therapist will perform a detailed assessment to evaluate strength, coordination, flexibility, and gait. From there, you’ll work together on exercises that strengthen the core and lower body, improve posture, and enhance reaction time — all essential for keeping your body steady and safe.
Beyond improving balance, these sessions help train your brain and body to work together more effectively. With consistent therapy, patients often notice greater confidence in walking, climbing stairs, and performing everyday tasks.
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults — but with the right care, they can often be prevented.
If you or someone you love struggles with balance or has a history of falls, contact Ishitani Health Center today to schedule a consultation with one of our expert physical therapists. Together, we can help you move with confidence and stability again.
