Enhance Balance & Reduce Fall Risk with Request Physical Therapy

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and loss of independence for older adults. Every year, millions of seniors experience falls that result in fractures, hospitalizations, and long-term mobility issues. At Request Physical Therapy, we specialize in helping individuals improve their balance, strength, and coordination to minimize fall risks and maintain an active, independent lifestyle.

The Dangers of Falls in Older Adults

Falls can have serious consequences, including:
  • Injuries & Fractures – Hip fractures, wrist breaks, and head injuries are common after falls.
  • Loss of Independence – Many seniors who experience falls struggle with daily activities and may require assisted living.
  • Fear of Falling – After a fall, many individuals develop anxiety about movement, which can lead to decreased physical activity and further balance issues.
