Referrals & Recommendations

Two easy paths

Most of the time, providers don't need to formally refer. It's usually enough to recommend us to patients who show signs of increased fall risk — and let the patient (or a family member) reach out. If you'd prefer to send a direct referral, we welcome that too.

Who to recommend or refer

Consider mentioning The Center of Balance when a patient shows any of the following:

• History of a fall or near-fall in the past 12 months
• Reported fear of falling or reduced activity because of it
• Unsteady gait, shuffling, cautious turning, or poor tandem stance
• Weakness, sarcopenia, or reduced sit-to-stand ability
• Recent hospitalization, orthopedic recovery, or deconditioning
• Cognitive concerns paired with mobility change
• Poly-pharmacy or medication changes with balance implications
• Vision changes affecting mobility

How to refer directly

1. Email contact@TheCenterofBalance.com with the patient's name, reason, and best contact number. We'll reach out to the patient.
2. Or use the contact form and select "A healthcare provider."

Scope note

We do not accept patients whose primary issue is vestibular disease, Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathy, or another neurological disorder.

Consent & communication

With signed patient consent, we share the intake assessment, a mid-program update, and a graduation summary.
