Gait, Balance & Fall Prevention

Each year, one in three adults over the age of 65 will experience a fall, the leading cause of serious injury in older adults and frequently resulting in loss of independence. Oconee Physical Therapy has developed a comprehensive balance and gait rehabilitation program to help older adults regain independence after a fall and for those with gait and balance disorders.
