Why fall prevention therapy matters

Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults 65 and older. According to the CDC’s current fall data, more than one in four older adults reports falling each year. Falls lead to about 3 million emergency-department visits and 1 million hospitalizations annually.

Many factors raise fall risk: balance or walking problems, vision changes, medications, low blood pressure, inner-ear (vestibular) issues, neuropathy, and altered sensation in the feet. Falls most often happen in the bathroom, in a dark bedroom at night, when standing up quickly, or when tripping on the way to the bathroom.

While no therapy can prevent every fall, physical therapy focused on balance and strength training can reduce fall risk. If you or a loved one has fallen — or has been screened as at-risk by a healthcare provider — fall-prevention therapy can help protect your independence.
