What is the Best Way to Prevent Falls?

.

.

Our holistic approach to preventing falls in people with impaired balance includes:

  • Tai Chi
  • Yoga
  • Strengthening
  • Stretching
  • Meditation
  • Balance Training

Bill Gallagher has developed a powerfully synergistic combination of therapies to prevent falls, improve balance and reverse frailty in elders. The potency of integrating Tai Chi Chuan with conventional Physical Therapy fall prevention strategies is evident in the scientific literature and has been born out by Mr. Gallaghers clinical experience. In addition to addressing the physical manifestations of frailty, poor balance and muscle weakness, Bill offers techniques like breath work, meditation and guided imagery to alleviate the potentially paralyzing fear of falling that is so prevelant in elders at risk of falling.

Bill Gallagher PT, CMT, CYT has studied an taught all aspects of fall prevention & teaches his visionary synthesis to both practicing rehab specialists & at several doctoral Physical Therapy programs.
