Balance therapy and fall prevention physical therapy can help improve stability, walking confidence, and safety at home.
MVMT + BALANCE offers in-home balance therapy in the Kansas City area for adults experiencing imbalance, weakness, gait changes, or increased fall risk.
Balance is a complex function that requires coordination between input from the eyes, inner ear (vestibular system), and proprioception (body position awareness). When one or more systems are compromised, the risk of falls increases.
Common contributors to falls include:
Muscle weakness, particularly in the legs and core
Decreased flexibility or joint stiffness
Poor postural control or gait instability
Vision or vestibular deficits
Medication side effects or dizziness
Environmental hazards in the home
MVMT + BALANCE assesses the root causes of balance deficits and designs evidence-based interventions to restore stability, strength, and confidence.
