What Can I Expect From a Fall Prevention Program?

At Back In Motion Physical Therapy & Performance in Fort Myers, Cape Coral & Estero, FL, your initial physical exam may include vision tests, resting, and active heart rate checks, gait, balance, range of motion, and strength tests. Our physical therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan for you based on the results of these exams.

The following are some common therapeutic methods you may encounter in your treatment plans:

Our physical therapist will create a strength training program specifically for you. This plan will concentrate on specific muscle groups that require strengthening. This will improve your balance while standing and walking, as well as your ability to recover from a fall.

You may be required to perform specific balance-based exercises as part of your treatment plan. Examples include standing on one leg or maintaining your balance while performing an intellectually demanding task (such as reciting the alphabet or reading a page from a book).

Any pain you are experiencing will be addressed as soon as possible by your treatment plan.

Our physical therapist will design an aerobic training program for you that will gradually increase in difficulty as your stamina improves.

This section of your treatment plan focuses on restoring your normal physical function while walking or moving. To improve your balance, your physical therapist may instruct you to walk in a circle or complete an obstacle course.
