Breaking the cycle of falls

Posted

One fall—or even a close call—can change the way you live. Many people start to feel nervous about walking, climbing stairs, or enjoying activities they once loved. This fear often leads to moving less, which weakens muscles, stiffens joints, and reduces balance. This makes another fall more likely. This is called the “cycle of falls.”

The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck in that cycle. At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, we help people improve their balance every day and regain confidence.

Understanding the Fall Cycle

  • First fall or near fall: Even without injury, fear sets in.
  • Avoiding activity: To stay “safe,” you stop doing as much.
  • Loss of strength and balance: Less movement means weaker muscles and slower reflexes.
  • Increased fall risk: Which restarts the cycle.

How FYZICAL Can Help
Falls are not an inevitable part of aging. With the right care, you can move safely and confidently again. FYZICAL therapists use advanced equipment and personalized therapy to:

  • Assess your balance and identify risks.
  • Guide you through fun, safe exercises to build stability.
  • Teach posture and walking techniques for everyday confidence.

FYZICAL’s certified balance specialists use our Safety Overhead System (S.O.S.) to provide a fall-free environment, allowing you to be challenged safely and effectively.

Many patients tell us they feel like they’ve “gotten their life back” after working with us. They’re able to enjoy activities they thought they had to give up—without the constant worry of falling.
