Questions about this care
What if I have already fallen?
Tell your doctor about a fall, especially if you hit your head. If you need emergency care, call 911. Your therapist can then work with you on the steps, the strength and the places where you felt unsteady.
Is dizziness something you treat?
If you are dizzy, see your doctor first. Your therapist works with what your doctor finds.
Can a family member come with me?
Yes. Many people bring a family member, and your therapist can show them how to help at home.
