Today we celebrate Falls Prevention Awareness Week by doing what we love most, helping our patients move safely and confidently. 🌟

Using tools like BlazePods, we make therapy engaging and effective, but the real win is seeing our patients take safer, steadier steps every day. 👣

The American Physical Therapy Association reports that choosing physical therapy to prevent falls over no intervention results in an average net benefit of $2,144 including all the hidden costs of a patient's time, pain, and missed life events; and the dollars paid for the services.

Ready to improve your balance and reduce fall risks? We’ve got you! Call or Text 920-648-2400 to schedule today.
