What Is Fall Prevention?

Fall Prevention therapy focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of balance issues, muscle weakness, and instability that can lead to falls—especially in older adults. At Levan Physical Therapy, our fall prevention program is designed to enhance your confidence, mobility, and independence through evidence-based movement and balance training.

Falls are a leading cause of injury among older adults, but the good news is: most falls are preventable.
