All ages. Teens. Middle age. Older population.

Dizziness is possible. I will make sure you are safe with all balance testing.

When challenging your balance, I am testing your abilities and limitations. I will provide a safe environment with safeguards in place to minimize your risk of falling. So no, my plan is not to allow you to fall.

I perform balance and coordination-type activities with almost every patient. We all have fallen or had near falls. The body needs to be trained to prepare for all types of situations including getting up too quickly, walking on ramps or different terrain, and agility during sports to name a few.

Usually when I slow a movement down for a patient or if you stand on one leg I can see some deficits at the hip, knee, or ankle. Sometimes just moving your head will expose some balance issues. It depends on what it is causing the balance problem. I tend to see a lot of hip, glute, and ankle weakness, poor reaction time, poor motor control, concussions, and pain contributing to balance issues.
