Did you know that nearly half of Americans experience dizziness at least once in their lifetime, and for some, it can lead to permanent balance issues? Falls are also a major concern, especially for those over 65, causing serious injury and even death. That’s why we’re here to offer our expert balance therapy services and help you stay on your feet.
LifeMotion balance therapy specialists help improve your stability when walking, bending, lifting, and navigating uneven surfaces with balance retraining so you can get back to the activities you love.
Where Balance Therapy Retraining Starts
Knowing the root cause of balance problems can help you better manage and prevent them. Whether it’s due to sensory deficits, neurological issues, inner ear disorders or weakness, it’s important to be aware of the signs and symptoms. Loss of balance can affect your quality of life, causing you to feel unsteady or dizzy.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s recommended to seek medical attention. Property functioning of your visual system, inner ear, muscular system and proprioception are essential for maintaining balance. While it may seem simple, it is a complex integration of multiple systems working together. Take care of your body and be mindful of any changes in balance.
You can easily become frustrated or even depressed as balance problems undermine your confidence to engage in common daily tasks. Untreated balance issues lead to tripping, stumbling, vertigo and even falling.

Concussion Management and Recovery
1.6 million to 3.8 million people experience concussions every year in the United States. Whether it happens during sports, recreation, or in daily life, concussions can cause lasting effects, even changing your brain chemistry.
Put simply, a concussion is what happens when your brain is violently shaken. You don’t have to get knocked out to experience a concussion; in fact, loss of consciousness happens in less than 10% of concussions.
Recovery can take between weeks and months, sometimes even longer. Holly Thompson, PT and her team bring specialized training and years of experience in helping clients recover from concussions and get back in motion again.
