We all take balance for granted. It’s really hard to notice when your balance is slightly off, especially if it only happens once in a while. Many people don’t notice they have a balance problem until they’ve fallen, and many of them don’t realize that there were signs before their fall, including:
Feeling of spinning
Feeling faint or lightheaded
Feeling dizzy
Vision changes like blurriness
Weakening of muscles, particularly in the core and lower body
We urge you to look for these early signs and get treatment. Don’t wait to fall and possibly injure yourself. Because poor balance has so many causes, finding the root cause is especially challenging. Our physical therapists are trained to find the root cause of balance issues no matter where they are.
Treatment for balance at React Physical Therapy
At React we know that where it hurts isn’t always why it hurts. The root cause of your balance pain might be in your balance, near it, or nowhere near it. How do we know that? Your body is one interconnected machine. Everything is connected to something else. There are no gaps from head to toe. If one area of your body is under optimized, that will ripple and cause pain elsewhere. We find the root cause of your pain and treat it.
We Follow a Three Stage System to treat balance
We take all patients through our three stage treatment system:
1.
Assessment
We do a thorough, body wide assessment to find the root cause of your pain.
2.
Treatment
We treat with a variety of manual and exercise techniques.
3.
Movement
We show you how to move properly so you can stay out of pain.
We make sure we spend enough time at each stage. We don’t skimp stages or slim them.
