BALANCE ISSUES
"How to put an end to feeling wobbly and unsteady on your feet, while improving your confidence and independence."
If you've noticed you aren't as steady on your feet as you used to be, it's tempting to think that it's just a normal part of aging. You may think that because "everyone" your age seems to be having the same trouble as you that it's something you will have to learn to live with.
You may not know when it was that you started to lose your confidence and when you started to worry about every step you take, but now it's starting to limit what you're able to do. If this is happening to you, you're not alone. We hear these types of things all the time. In fact, Balance Issues are the most common problem we see at HouseFit.
And when it comes to poor balance, everyone we see wants to know...
"Why Is This Happening To Me?"
Most people realize that their balance won't magically get better on its own, but they still don't take action.

Look What Others Are Saying About Balance Treatments From HouseFit...
Lee - 78
from Columbia, IL |
I have struggled with neuropathy for 15 years and have difficulty with my balance. I have been to other physical therapists, podiatrists, and chiropractors for relief. I have never gotten any and have never felt like the professional I was seeing really understood my difficulties. That all changed when I went to HouseFit.
I now feel more confident when walking inside the hockey rink and going up in the stands while watching my son's game. I'm able to spend time outside working in my rose garden, walking on uneven ground and not getting so tired. I'm more encouraged than I ever have been before. |
Barb - 80

My balance was terrible. I was having falls. I couldn't get up from the ground and I was having trouble rising from a chair. I felt that my world was getting smaller around me because I was afraid of falling. I came across an article that Dr. Beth wrote in the "Concord Call" and she captured my feelings exactly. It was like she crawled into my head and knew what I was thinking.
I'm sure there are people who feel they can't afford therapy. I don't understand how you can't. It's more affordable than a fall. YOU are important... Take care of yourself! Put yourself first! Don't let your world get smaller because you're afraid of falling. |
