Restore your balance and avoid dangerous falls with help from our expert physical therapists and audiologists
Balance is your body’s ability to stay upright and steady. Without balance, you can trip and fall more than normal, and may be seriously hurt.
If you feel unsteady or are falling more often, it’s time to get your balance and vestibular (inner ear) system checked.
Physical therapists and audiologists assess your strength and endurance, and check for problems with your inner ears, vision, and your body’s internal sense of space (called “proprioception”).
With a combination of hands-on, clinical tests and advanced technology, your therapists will work with you to identify the cause of your balance problem.
Once a diagnosis is made, you’ll work as a team to create an individualized treatment plan. Treatment may include physical therapy, vestibular rehab, changes to your home environment or more advanced techniques. The goal of vestibular rehab is to help you improve your strength and balance so you can feel confident in getting back to your daily routines.

You’ll start with routine screening. Based on this assessment, your therapist will help you determine if further treatment is necessary, or if home safety strategies will be enough to prevent future falls.
Your therapist may recommend having a friend or family member help you look for fall hazards at home. Careful furniture and rug placement can help decrease your risk of injury. Turning on lights at night is another simple way to prevent falls. If needed, we will also help you with assistive devices like walkers, canes or grab bars.
Your treatment is personalized to your specific needs, and may include traditional physical therapy. It may also include:
