Balance and Mobility

Whether you’re a hardened athlete, a weekend warrior, or just looking to add more physical activity to your life, paying attention to your overall balance and mobility is important. This is especially true as you age–older people have an increased fall risk, which can lead to serious complications. Fortunately, Elder Athlete Physical Therapy in St. Petersburg, FL can help address all your balance and mobility needs!

Having strong balance and good mobility is what keeps us on our feet. Balance is about staying upright, while mobility is about moving with ease. Together, they allow us to explore the world to the fullest.

For athletes of any kind, balance and mobility are key to excelling in your chosen sport. By spending a little time working on these areas, you’ll see improvements in your sports performance and everyday life.
