What is Balance Therapy ?
Balance Therapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on improving balance, stability, and coordination. It encompasses a range of techniques and exercises aimed at addressing issues related to posture, gait, proprioception, and vestibular function. By targeting these areas, Balance Therapy helps reduce the risk of falls, enhances mobility, and promotes independence in daily activities.
Our Approach
At Performance Physical Therapy in Delaware, we take a comprehensive approach to Balance Therapy, tailoring our treatments to each individual’s specific needs and abilities. Our experienced team of physical therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to identify any underlying issues contributing to balance problems. From there, we develop personalized treatment plans utilizing evidence-based techniques to address:
- Strength and Flexibility: Strengthening muscles and improving flexibility are essential components of balance training. We incorporate targeted exercises to enhance core stability and lower extremity strength, helping you maintain proper alignment and control.
- Proprioceptive Training: Proprioception refers to the body’s ability to sense its position in space. Through specialized exercises and activities, we work to improve proprioceptive awareness, allowing you to better adjust and control your movements.
- Vestibular Rehabilitation: The vestibular system plays a crucial role in maintaining balance and spatial orientation. For individuals experiencing dizziness or vertigo, our vestibular rehabilitation program can help alleviate symptoms and restore equilibrium.
- Gait and Balance Training: We focus on refining your walking pattern and balance reactions to promote safer and more efficient mobility. By practicing various walking tasks and balance exercises, you’ll gain confidence in navigating different environments and surfaces.

How does BioSway work?
The Biodex BioSway system challenges patients to shift and control their center of gravity through interactive balance games and rehabilitative training strategies. To use the BioSway and enhance postural stability, you stand on a small lightweight instrumented platform facing a touch screen in front of you. Through sensory integration and various interactive training modes and balance games, your body will re-train itself to walk properly, improve balance, and decrease your risk of falling.

- A high risk of falling
- Vestibular diagnoses
- Post-trauma
- Ligament sprains
- Impaired neuromuscular control
- Parkinson’s
