Snow and ice can turn everyday walks to the mailbox, the car, or the grocery store into a real fall risk.
Icy sidewalks, steps, and driveways are dangerous even for people with good balance, and shorter days and cold weather make it easy to stop moving altogether. In this month’s newsletter, we share practical ways to stay safe this winter, from keeping walkways clear and treated with salt or sand to using ice spikes for better traction.
At Lycoming Physical Therapy, we assess your strength, balance, mobility, and walking pattern to understand your fall risk, then build an individualized plan to help you feel steady on your feet. With balance training, strengthening, gait training for icy surfaces, and endurance work, we’ll help you stay active and confident all season long. You can also see us directly without a physician referral.
