We’re proud to share that our very own Dana Tress, PT, certified concussion specialist, and ergonomic specialist, was recently featured in an article in Eat This, Not That! about the vital role of balance in health, longevity, and fall prevention. Dana explained how balance begins to decline in our 40s and 50s if it’s not actively trained, stressing the importance of addressing it well before older adulthood.

A hybrid physical therapy plan that includes both land and aquatic therapy combines the benefits of traditional on-land exercises with the low-impact environment of water-based therapy. This approach is often used to gradually build strength, flexibility and endurance while minimizing stress on joints and soft tissues.
