About the program

At changepain, we understand the impact that balance issues and the fear of falling can have on your life. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing specialized balance and fall prevention physiotherapy, designed to help you regain your confidence and enhance your quality of life.

Understanding the Importance of Balance

Good balance is crucial for daily activities and overall mobility. Challenges with balance can lead to an increased risk of falls, which can cause injuries and a decrease in independence. Our balance and fall prevention program is here to address these concerns proactively.

Our Approach to Balance Therapy
  • Personalized Assessment: We begin with a thorough assessment to understand your specific balance challenges and risk factors for falls.
  • Customized Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment, we create a tailored treatment plan focused on improving balance, strength, and mobility.
  • Safe, Supportive Environment: Our physiotherapy sessions are conducted in a secure and encouraging setting, ensuring your comfort and safety at all times. 

 

How Our Program Can Help
  • Improving Balance and Coordination: Through targeted exercises, we work to enhance your balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls.
  • Increasing Muscle Strength: Strengthening key muscle groups contributes to better stability and mobility. 
  • Education and Strategies: We provide you with valuable information and strategies to manage risks in your everyday environment.
  • Confidence Building: As your balance improves, so does your confidence in performing daily activities.

Our program is suitable for anyone experiencing balance issues, a history of falls, or a fear of falling. This includes older adults, individuals with neurological conditions, and those recovering from certain injuries or surgeries.
