Boise's variable terrain - from icy winter sidewalks to uneven foothills trails - presents unique fall risks. Our balance program helps older adults maintain independence while navigating the Treasure Valley's changing landscapes.
We conduct thorough assessments of balance, strength, and gait patterns. Therapy includes targeted exercises to improve stability, home safety evaluations (particularly important in Boise's older North End homes), and functional training for daily activities. During winter months, we incorporate slip-recovery techniques and recommend appropriate footwear for Idaho conditions.
For active seniors who enjoy the Greenbelt or local parks, we develop customized programs to keep them safely enjoying outdoor activities. We also address the visual challenges that contribute to falls - particularly important during Boise's long twilight hours.
