How to Know If You’re Making Your Balance Issue WORSE! Right after the snow week in Texas mid-February, I got so many calls about one
Have You Been Searching For A “Balance Issues Specialist”?
Have You Tried Everything To Maintain Balance & Prevent Falls, But Feel Let Down?
Don’t sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed.
A Message From Balance Issues Specialist Dr. Ryan Seifert, Owner Of Natural Fit Therapy:
- Do you find yourself worried over your balance? Do you feel unsteady on your feet and are afraid of falling?
- Are you frustrated that you’ve lost some of your strength and mobility and now that your balance is being affected you feel vulnerable and fearful?
- Do you have trouble keeping up with your friends and feel like you’re missing out on activities?
- Are you still looking for a practical solution so you can enjoy an independent life without worrying about falls?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then rest assured, You’re In The Right Place!
Many people suffer unnecessarily with fear of falling and balance issues because they’re often told…
- That falls are the leading cause of injury and even death among the elderly.
- That it’s “normal” to feel off balance when you get older.
- If they want to continue their normal routine they’ll need assistance.
- To give up the recreational activities they love because the danger is too great.
The Truth About Balance Issues Is:
- Losing your balance and falling is a very common problem that happens to a lot of us, but it’s the fear of falling that drives us away from doing the things that we’ve enjoyed in the past.
- The body’s balance system will start to decline with age which is why it's important to work on balance activities.
- Stopping the activities you enjoy because you consider them "high-risk", that could lead to a fall, is not the only option.
- Improving your balance and instilling confidence in yourself will help you overcome the fear of falling.

Don’t sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed.

It can be very confusing to decide exactly what you should do if you have balance issues. You’ve likely heard a lot of well-intentioned advice or options such as…
- A family member telling you to give up that activity you love because it’s too high-risk.
- A friend mentions trying a diet change.
- To watch the “experts” on YouTube recommend a specific exercise or stretch.
- A friend suggesting you try aerobics class to help with mobility.
- All the while hearing doctors tell you to just “be careful”.
It’s overwhelming to make a decision when there are so many options available. You may ask yourself, “what will happen if I make the wrong choice?”
It’s normal to feel stuck when trying to make a decision on what to do about your balance issues.
You might go days, months, or even years without taking action. This indecision just prolongs your pain and keeps you from the life you desire. We understand your concerns and we’re here to help you take that first step in getting the relief you need!
When It Comes To Balance Issues Treatment…
You must choose the right provider for your balance issues. If you don’t, you could end up wasting your time trying different options while the problem is still there.
Getting the “least-invasive” and most natural treatment is VITAL to understanding your balance and mobility issues so we can work on a plan that WORKS.
To do that, you’ll have to not only treat the problem, but also have a provider who is willing to figure out WHY your balance issues started in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problems.
“Very positive experience that I found to be very helpful in addressing issues of balance I have begun to encounter in my mid-sixties. The therapists were very pleasant to work with such that I enjoyed the sessions and looked forward to each appointment. I was surprised with how much it helped me and I recommend it highly and without reservation.”

At Natural Fit Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process to get you moving again, regain your confidence, maintain your balance and decrease your fear of falling.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
We know the medical system can be frustrating. Sometimes you have to wait weeks or even months for an appointment, only to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “what just happened?”
Unfortunately many physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced and your physical therapist likely doesn’t have time to see you for multiple concerns or help you in all the areas you’re worried about.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with a lot of people who struggle with balance, we know that no two persons are alike. Each one has a different body, a different history, and a different type of pain.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation with you and to give you time to tell your story, so we can have a full picture of what’s going on. We want to not only understand how your balance issues started, but also how it’s impacting your life right now.
Step #2 - Find Out WHY Your Balance Issues Started
You might have a diagnosis or medical term for what’s going on with your body. Maybe your doctor gave it to you, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online.
Sometimes those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Everyone’s body is different. No two people are going to have the same mobility issues caused by the same reason.
Our goal at Natural Fit is to find the original cause of your mobility issues, so that we can address it and help you overcome your fear of falling.
We understand that you might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is the right treatment for balance and mobility issues. If that’s you, feel free to give us a call below. We’d love to talk about your concerns and see if we’re the best fit for you!

…be able to take a shower without fear of falling down.
…have confidence you won’t fall when you get up in the middle of the night to walk to the restroom.

“I am more than delighted with the expert treatment at NFT. Desiree has all of the expertise not only of a physical therapist but is talented in acupuncture and chiropractic techniques as well. Years ago I had a right torn rotator cuff, Now I have injured the left one. The treatment I received before cannot compare with the care I am getting now. Desiree works on my neck and back to stretch and strengthen the entire area. I had worked with her earlier on balance as well. I have had both hips replaced and had broken my foot and back. She adjusted my left hip and improved my gait and balance. Could not be more pleased.”
