We begin with a detailed balance assessment, looking at your posture, walking mechanics, and lower-body strength. Then we’ll tailor an exercise program, often including single-leg stance exercises, balance boards, and safe gait training. We adapt the intensity level based on your progress, ensuring you’re consistently challenged without feeling unsafe. Depending on your needs, you may practice side-stepping drills, heel-to-toe walking, and variations of standing on foam pads to improve proprioception. We’ll also evaluate your home setup—like lighting, rug placement, and bathroom safety—to reduce fall risks in everyday situations. Throughout the program, you’ll be guided by experienced therapists who encourage steady progress, all while keeping the exercises fun and engaging.
Ideal for older adults, post-surgical patients, and anyone who has experienced a recent fall or has concerns about balance and mobility. This program also benefits individuals with neurological disorders, arthritis, or chronic pain issues affecting stability. If you’re living in or around Boynton Beach, Lake Worth, Boca Raton, or Wellington—and you’re worried about losing independence due to balance problems—this program can help restore your confidence.
Can balance training help if I’ve already fallen?
Yes. We design programs to improve stability, reduce fear of falling, and prevent future falls.
Do I need special shoes or equipment?
Supportive footwear is often recommended. We may also use balance boards and other props.
Is this program suitable for people using walkers or canes?
Absolutely. We can tailor activities to any assistive devices you use.
How many times a week should I do balance exercises?
We often recommend at least 2–3 sessions per week, but your therapist will provide personalized guidance.
Is it covered by Medicare or other insurance plans?
Many plans cover physical therapy for fall prevention; check your specific benefits for details. In addition, your Be On The Move Physical Therapist can verify coverage for you.
Does it include any cognitive or visual assessments?
We primarily focus on physical components but can coordinate with specialists if needed.
Can I continue exercises at home after I finish therapy?
Yes. We give home exercise instructions to help you maintain and enhance your balance gains.
Is your pain keeping you from fully enjoying your day?
Do you wish it would just disappear, but it continues to trouble you?
