Understanding Balance Problems in Seniors

As people age, balance can decline due to changes in strength, reaction time, and sensory systems (vision, vestibular, proprioception). This isn’t “just aging”—it’s addressable with targeted therapy. At Achieva Rehabilitation, we deliver falls & balance physical therapy at home so improvements translate to real-life safety.

How PT Reduces Fall Risk

Our approach targets the core drivers of falls:

• Strength & stability for hips, legs, and core.

• Task-specific balance practice (turning, stepping, curbs, stairs).

• Vestibular rehab when dizziness/inner-ear issues are present.

• Home safety upgrades (lighting, clutter management, railings) to cut hazards.

•
