Did you know physical therapists can calculate your fall risk?

We look at several factors—such as balance, strength, flexibility, walking speed, vision, medications, and past history of falls.

In celebration of Fall Prevention Awareness Week, PT Kristin, who now works in our DeKalb facility, discusses how physical therapists calculate your fall risk and the number of issues that may cause a risk for a fall.

🌟 Balance Awareness Week 🌟

Did you know that your hearing health is closely connected to your sense of balance? Our inner ear plays a vital role in maintaining balance, and hearing loss can sometimes be an early sign of balance disorders. If you're experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or frequent falls, it may be time to check in on both your hearing and balance health.

As part of Balance Awareness week, consider scheduling a balance checkup with one of our physical therapists and checking your hearing with a healthcare professional.
