Balance Training and Advanced Balance Training
Here in Spokane, we continue to see our demographic shift to over 65. At Riverview Retirement Community Balance and Strength are central to our residents. Balance training is undertaken in order to:
• Prevent falls and injuries
• Improve posture
• Improve strength, standing balance and locomotor performance in older adults
• Improves dynamic trunk control, sitting & standing balance, mobility in person’s post stroke
• Strengthen self-efficacy in balance control leading to improved fall-related self-efficacy, reduced fear of falling, increased walking speed, and improved physical function
As we know first-hand, decreased balance is attributable to an age-related decline in multiple physiological systems that contributes to:
• Decreased muscle flexibility and strength,
• Reduced central processing of sensory information
• Slowed motor responses.
Riverview not only uses traditional balance rehabilitation practices, but also offers advanced technology like the Biodex System SD. Primarily, the Biodex System is a high-tech device used to measure and record an individual’s balance rehabilitation through a series of muscle testing. The Biodex System offers dual tasking activities, while simultaneously simulates multi-directional weight shifting, ankle and hip strengthening, and balance recovery.

What is Balance Training and Falls Prevention?
Preferably, older adults and those at risk of falls should do balance training 3 or more days a week for at least 45 minutes to reduce falls. Exergames, multimodal exercise training and mind-body exercises can improve balance and reduce fall risk in older people. Balance exercise is one of the four types of recommended exercise along with strength, aerobic and flexibility exercises to improve health and physical ability.
What is Post-operative Physical Therapy?
Post-operative physical therapy aims to get a patient who’s undergone surgery healed and back to their regular level of functioning. A physical therapist will help a patient who needs post-operative PT to cope with pain, rebuild muscle and joint strength and stability, and overall assist in their recovery.
JAG PT specializes in physical therapy care following total hip and knee replacements, arthroscopic repairs, bone fracture repairs, and surgery for intervertebral disc issues, among many others. Our physical therapists understand that following your surgery, you want and need to be mobile. We’ll come up with a customized plan for your needs that may include isometric exercises, gait training with assistive devices, assistance in standing, sitting, and movement, and other interventions that may be right for you.
