WEDNESDAY 5:00 PM
Orthopedic and Balance Therapy Specialists
1405 E. Lincolnway Suite B
La Porte IN 46350
(next to All Star Auto, same building as Hair Fitness)
This workshop is for you if...
- You've felt unsteady on your feet and concerned that you might fall
- You've missed out on family activities because of your balance or dizziness issues
- You've given up on the things you love to do because of your unsteadiness
- You're noticing changes in your balance ability and just want to be proactive
- You're not sure what to do and just want to be back to your normal self
During the workshop, I will discuss in detail:
- The 3 components of balance control that help keep you steady.
- How to know if each component is working properly the way it’s supposed to (these are simple tests you can do on your own without any expensive equipment. The 3rd test is what people usually fail the most).
- Simple techniques to strengthen all 3 components (we will do them together during the workshop, one of them you would have never thought would make such a big difference).
- Top 3 things you can do to decrease your risk of falling (people who fail the tests and don’t do anything about it are at 3x higher risk of falling)

Here's what some former attendees and patients have to say...
“I was pretty unsteady when walking when I first came here. I was dizzy and falling often. The balance machine has reprogrammed me to use my muscles, weight shifts, eyes, and even my inner ear for better balance. I have not fallen since! This has been so valuable for me. Thanks OBTS!!! Gloria Chirila
“This has been a wonderful experience. Before coming here I was having a difficult time with my balance and mobility. I could not walk down a narrow hall without touching the walls for balance. I could not scoop down to pick up my shoes without losing my balance. It was difficult to walk across grass. I could not sit long periods of time. Now I can do most of these things with little or no problems. I have more confidence in walking, in standing, and bending down to pick my shoes up.” -Leota Bowen
“Overall confidence is much higher about 40-50% higher. Able to walk long distance without fear of falling, able to bend over and tie my shoes in the middle of the parking lot. Use steps with less fear of a tumble. Legs feel stronger with the exercise OBTS made me do. Overall balance I would say is much improved. All of the therapy sessions were first class. Every therapist and employee was a pleasure to be with and very professional. I highly recommend their services.”-Roger Hare
