Falls are not a normal part of aging — they're preventable. Every year, one in four Americans aged 65 and older experiences a fall. Here's what you can do.

Falls are not a normal part of aging — they are preventable. Every year, one in four Americans aged 65 and older experiences a fall, and many of these result in serious injuries including hip fractures, head trauma, and a devastating loss of independence.

The HolsmanNoFallProtocol™

At Holsman Physical Therapy, we use our proprietary HolsmanNoFallProtocol™ — a comprehensive assessment system that includes the Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, and 4-Stage Balance Test to identify each patient's unique risk factors and assign personalized HolStep™ treatment plans.

Evidence-Based Risk Reduction

Research shows that targeted physical therapy can reduce fall risk by up to 35%. Our program focuses on:

  • Lower extremity strength training
  • Balance and proprioception exercises
  • Gait training and assistive device instruction
  • Home safety evaluation and modification guidance
  • Vestibular rehabilitation when indicated
