Fall Prevention Physical Therapy
Stay Strong, Steady & Independent
Falls are not a normal part of aging — and they’re often preventable.
If you’re feeling unsteady, dizzy, or worried about falling, physical therapy can help you regain confidence and stay independent.
At Epic Physical Therapy in Highlands Ranch and Greenwood Village, we specialize in fall prevention and balance therapy for Medicare patients and active older adults.
Why Fall Prevention Matters
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in adults over 65:
- 1 in 4 adults over 65 falls each year
- Falls are the #1 cause of injury-related hospitalizations
- Over 3 million seniors are treated in emergency rooms annually due to falls
- Many falls lead to fractures, head injuries, and long recovery times
The good news? Physical therapy can reduce fall risk by up to 23%.
How Physical Therapy Reduces Fall Risk
At Epic PT, we focus on addressing the root causes of imbalance — not just the symptoms.
Your customized fall prevention program may include:
- ✔ Balance training
- ✔ Lower body strengthening
- ✔ Gait and walking mechanics
- ✔ Reaction time drills
- ✔ Vestibular therapy for dizziness
- ✔ Posture and mobility work
- ✔ Home safety education
We also perform fall risk assessments to identify specific areas of weakness and instability.
Medicare Covers Fall Prevention Physical Therapy
Many people don’t realize that Medicare covers medically necessary physical therapy, including:
- Balance disorders
- Fall risk assessments
- Strength training
- Gait training
- Post-fall rehabilitation
If you’ve experienced:
- A recent fall
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Fear of falling
- Weakness in your legs
- Trouble walking
You likely qualify for Medicare-covered physical therapy.
Our team can verify your benefits and guide you every step of the way.
