Slips and falls can occur anywhere and at any time. Since this sort of accident happens suddenly and without warning, our bodies cannot anticipate or prepare themselves to cushion the impact of a fall. As such, a slip and fall accident can cause a wide range of damage to our body. Left unaddressed, acute damage can turn into long-term chronic debilitating pain.
Slip and Fall
Are you worried about getting hurt if you fall? Have you ever felt unsteady while walking or noticed feeling uncertain on stairs or stepping down a curb? Have you ever stumbled and had to grab a nearby railing or piece of furniture to catch yourself from falling? You may benefit from a Slips and falls program at Tri-Care Physio and Wellness Clinic
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in adults over 65. The good news is that you can reduce and even prevent most falls with proper guidance. Unfortunately, most people don’t think about working on their balance and gait until it is too late and they have already fallen.
As part of your treatment plan, you may be required to perform specific balance-related exercises. Standing on one leg is a standard treatment that can serve as a test and treatment for an independent home program.
Your therapists will design your balance exercises based on your individual abilities. These exercises will address static and dynamic balance deficits to ensure you perform your normal daily activities safely.
Our team may include obstacles and distractions to heighten your reactions and capabilities in unfamiliar environments or circumstances. No matter your needs, our therapists can develop a program that addresses any limitation.
