Physical therapy plays a key role in preventing trips and falls, especially for older adults and those with balance issues. Therapists assess individual risk factors and design personalized exercises to strengthen muscles, improve balance, and enhance coordination. Training includes balance drills, gait training, and exercises to improve joint flexibility and reaction times.
By focusing on muscle strength, stability, and spatial awareness, physical therapy helps individuals move with more control and confidence, significantly reducing the likelihood of falls and promoting a safer, more active lifestyle.
