Tired of Dealing with Poor Balance and Frequent Falls?
If you're concerned about falling or recovering from a recent fall, you're not alone — especially if you're over the age of 60. Many older adults begin to notice changes in balance, strength, or confidence, which can interfere with everyday life. At Origin Rehab, we help you regain control and independence with proven physical therapy techniques tailored to your needs.
What are Balance and Falling Disorders?
Balance disorders refer to a wide range of conditions that affect your ability to maintain upright posture and stability while standing, walking, or changing position. These issues may be caused by inner ear dysfunction, muscular weakness, neurological conditions, or postural control deficits.
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults — but they’re not an inevitable part of aging. With targeted physical therapy, many balance impairments can be addressed and managed successfully.
What Causes Balance and Falling Disorders?
Falls and balance difficulties can result from a variety of factors, including inner ear or vestibular dysfunction, joint pain or stiffness, medication side effects, vision impairments, or decreased muscle strength and coordination. Chronic conditions such as neuropathy, Parkinson’s disease, or arthritis can further impact stability.
For many, the fear of falling becomes a limiting factor that leads to less physical activity — which can further weaken the body and increase fall risk. That’s why proactive treatment is so important.
