Fall prevention is a critical aspect of healthcare, especially for older adults and individuals with physical or neurological conditions that increase the risk of falls. At Center For Therapy And Wellness, our fall prevention program focuses on helping patients build strength, improve balance, and develop strategies to reduce the risk of falls in their daily lives. Falls can lead to serious injuries, including fractures, head trauma, and even a loss of independence, making it vital to address the risk factors through a structured, individualized plan.
Fall prevention involves a combination of exercises, environmental modifications, and education designed to minimize the risk of falls and ensure safety at home and in the community. It’s a proactive approach aimed at reducing the likelihood of falls by improving physical function, enhancing awareness, and eliminating hazards that may contribute to falls.

Exercises are designed to target the muscles responsible for balance, such as the core, legs, and hips.
