Balance Training
Yes, safety will be stressed!
With and without your physical therapist, there are a lot of things you can do to improve your sense of balance. Dr. Mischley will go over the pros and cons of various balance boards, tight ropes, and playful training tools.

Great for women with incontinence, but good for anyone who sits too much, has poor vaginal tone, and those that need to tighten their core strength.
Gait Training
