Balance Better

Balance disorders occur so frequently in senior populations that they are often overlooked and casually accepted as a normal process of aging. Balance disorders can disrupt a person’s ability to function in the home and the community, greatly impacting one’s quality of life.

Balance Better™ is focused on the retention/ restoration of health, safety, personal independence, & quality of life through functional strategies that are meaningful to senior populations.

Balance Disorder Groupings:

• Central nervous system disorders
• Vestibular disorders
• Visual disorders
• Proprioceptive disorders

Better Balance™ incorporates integrative functional strategies that benefit all four balance disorder groups & is particularly effective for proprioceptive balance disorders common to seniors.

Cedarburg Physical Therapy offers several options for improving functional balance and reducing the risk of falls by enhancing natural balance mechanisms! Take our Free Assessment to determine which level is right for you. Call (262) 375-2195. Classes are ongoing.

What We Offer

Better Balance Exercise Class

50-minute class designed to improve tri-planar movement using functional exercises that are challenging and fun! Cost: 1 Session: $6; 10 Sessions: $50.

Small Group Therapy

Small groups of 2-6 with specific musculo-skeletal problems, i.e.: total hip replacement, lumbar fusion, spinal stenosis. The group will focus on techniques to address specific needs of that group. The class is monitored by a PT and is usually covered by insurance/Medicare with a doctor’s prescription.

Fall Prevention and Home Assessment

A checklist and analysis will be completed to determine home environment safety.  Safety education and risk reduction strategies will be discussed.  It is important to remember:

While it makes sense to reduce home hazards to make living areas safer, researchers have confirmed that simply modifying one’s house does not reduce falls.”  Source: CDC

Cost: Complementary with any small group participant or multiple session purchase.
