Balance Training

What is Balance Training?

Problems with maintaining balance can make everyday life difficult and also dangerous. A loss of balance increases the risk of falling, so training is an important step to take.

UR Medicine's Approach

We provide comprehensive, individualized assessments to determine the cause or causes of balance problems.

Treatment consists of strengthening key muscle groups and improving balance reactions through visual, sensory, and vestibular information.

Balance conditions we treat include:

Vestibular and inner ear disorders
Neurological problems including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, stroke, brain injury
Spinal Injuries or procedures
Neuropathy
Orthopedic injuries including total joint replacement
Decreased strength, flexibility or general deconditioning
