Fear of falling can significantly limit independence, confidence, and quality of life. At Webb Physical Therapy Specialists, we provide fall prevention and balance training physical therapy to help patients move safely, reduce fall risk, and maintain an active, independent lifestyle.
Our approach is proactive—focused on identifying and addressing the factors that contribute to falls before an injury occurs.
Fall prevention physical therapy is a comprehensive, evidence-based approach designed to improve balance, strength, coordination, and movement confidence. Rather than responding after a fall, this approach focuses on reducing risk factors and improving safety during everyday activities. At Webb Physical Therapy Specialists, fall prevention combines:
This integrated approach supports both immediate safety and long-term independence.
Falls are rarely caused by a single issue. Reduced strength, impaired balance, joint stiffness, sensory changes, and environmental challenges often interact to increase fall risk. Our physical therapists evaluate how these factors affect your movement and design a personalized plan to address them. Treatment focuses on:
Fall prevention and balance training may be appropriate for individuals who:
Every patient begins with a thorough assessment to identify specific fall risk factors, including:
Based on this evaluation, your therapist develops a customized fall prevention program tailored to your goals, environment, and movement needs. Progress is reassessed regularly to ensure continued improvement.
Targeted training improves control during standing, walking, and transitional movements.
Strengthening key muscle groups supports safer, more efficient movement.
Addressing multiple contributing factors helps lower the likelihood of future falls.
As balance improves, patients often feel more comfortable returning to daily activities and social participation.
Fall prevention physical therapy is a conservative, non-invasive intervention that does not rely on medication or procedures. Programs are progressed gradually based on tolerance and ability, making them appropriate for individuals of varying activity levels.
Education is a key component—patients learn strategies to manage balance challenges and maintain progress outside the clinic.
At Webb Physical Therapy Specialists, fall prevention is delivered through one-on-one physical therapy sessions by licensed clinicians with orthopedic and balance training expertise. When appropriate, balance training may be combined with manual therapy, vestibular therapy, or Solo-Step® Overhead Track System to enhance safety and progression.
We serve patients from New Braunfels, San Marcos, Seguin, Canyon Lake, Schertz, Cibolo, and Garden Ridge who are seeking focused, skilled physical therapy care.
