More Than Just Balance Exercises

Falls don’t happen because you’re “getting old.” They happen because of specific, treatable factors like muscle weakness, poor balance reactions, medication side effects, or environmental hazards. Our comprehensive approach addresses all these factors.

During your first visit, we’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your strength, balance, walking pattern, and home environment. We look at everything from your lighting and floor surfaces to your footwear and medication timing. Then we create a personalized plan that targets your specific risk factors.

You’ll receive exercises designed specifically for your abilities and limitations. No generic programs here – everything is tailored to help you succeed safely.

Common questions about Fall Prevention

How quickly will I see improvements in my balance and confidence?

Most clients notice improvements in their confidence within the first 2-3 sessions, while measurable balance improvements typically occur within 4-6 weeks of consistent therapy. However, everyone progresses at their own pace depending on their starting point, medical conditions, and how consistently they practice their exercises. We track your progress with standardized balance tests so you can see objective improvements over time. The key is consistency – clients who practice their exercises between sessions and follow through with home safety modifications see the best results. Remember, building better balance is like building muscle – it takes time and regular practice, but the improvements are lasting when you stick with the program.

Does Medicare cover in-home fall prevention physical therapy services?

Yes, Medicare Part B typically covers in-home physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and prescribed by your physician. This includes fall prevention therapy if you’ve had a recent fall, have balance problems, or your doctor determines you’re at high risk for falling. We handle all the Medicare paperwork and work directly with your insurance to minimize your out-of-pocket costs. Most clients pay little to nothing for their sessions after meeting their deductible. We also accept most commercial insurance plans. Before starting treatment, we’ll verify your benefits and let you know exactly what your costs will be, so there are no surprises.

What makes in-home therapy better than going to a clinic for fall prevention?

In-home therapy allows us to assess and treat you in the environment where you spend most of your time and where most falls actually occur. We can identify specific hazards in your home, practice navigating your actual stairs and hallways, and help you develop strategies for your real-world challenges. There’s no transportation stress, no waiting rooms, and no risk of exposure to illnesses. You’re also more comfortable and relaxed in your own space, which helps you learn and retain new skills better. Plus, we can involve your family members or caregivers more easily, ensuring everyone understands how to support your progress and maintain a safe environment.

Can you help me if I've never fallen but I'm worried about my balance?

Absolutely – prevention is always better than treatment after a fall has already happened. Many of our most successful clients are those who recognize early warning signs like feeling unsteady, grabbing onto furniture for support, or avoiding certain activities because they don’t feel confident. If you’ve noticed changes in your balance, strength, or confidence with movement, you’re an ideal candidate for fall prevention therapy. We can help you maintain and improve your current abilities before they decline further. Early intervention is much more effective and requires less intensive treatment than waiting until after you’ve experienced a fall or injury.

How long does a typical fall prevention program last?

Most fall prevention programs run 6-8 weeks with 2-3 sessions per week, but the exact duration depends on your individual needs, goals, and progress. Some clients with minor balance concerns may see significant improvement in 4-6 weeks, while others with more complex medical conditions might benefit from 10-12 weeks of therapy. We’ll discuss realistic timelines during your initial evaluation and adjust the program length based on your progress. The goal is to get you to a point where you feel confident and safe, have learned effective strategies for preventing falls, and can maintain your improvements with a home exercise program. We’re not interested in keeping you in therapy longer than necessary – we want to get you independent and confident as quickly and safely as possible.

What should I expect during my first fall prevention therapy session?

Your first session is primarily an evaluation that takes about 60-90 minutes. We’ll review your medical history, medications, and any previous falls or near-falls you’ve experienced. Then we’ll assess your strength, balance, flexibility, and walking pattern using standardized tests. We’ll also walk through your home to identify potential fall hazards like loose rugs, poor lighting, or furniture placement. Based on this comprehensive assessment, we’ll explain what we found, discuss your goals, and outline a treatment plan tailored specifically for you. You’ll likely receive some gentle exercises to start with and immediate recommendations for simple safety improvements. Every session after that will build on your progress with more challenging exercises and skills training.
