Physical Therapy for Balance Issues

Balance Treatment in Georgetown, KY

Stay Steady, Stay Independent

If you’ve started avoiding uneven sidewalks, rugs, or even stairs — you’re not alone. Balance issues are incredibly common as we age, but they’re also one of the leading risk factors for falls, fractures, and lost independence.

Whether it’s from a previous fall, medication changes, vestibular dysfunction, or general weakness, balance problems can quietly chip away at your confidence. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

At Hyphen, we believe that strength is the best fall prevention. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy specialize in helping older adults build balance, stability, and resilience through evidence-based programs tailored to your needs.

Your plan may include:

  • Balance and coordination exercises

  • Strength training for hips, legs, and core stability

  • Gait and posture retraining

  • Vestibular rehabilitation if dizziness is a factor

  • Education on home safety and fall-proofing strategies
