Fall Prevention
If you are considered a fall risk due to age or certain musculoskeletal disorders, physical therapy can also provide you with balance and coordination training to improve how the muscles, ligaments and other soft tissue in the body move and function. By retraining and strengthening certain parts of the body, physical therapy could reduce your risk for falls.
