Regain Confidence on Your Feet with Expert Balance Training
Balance isn't just about staying upright — it's about living your life without fear. At Salt + Light Wellness in Carson City, our balance training program goes far beyond what you'd find in a typical physical therapy clinic. We specialize in the complex cases that are often overlooked: people living with Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathy, cancer-related fatigue and deconditioning, lymphedema, and other neurological conditions that quietly steal your stability.
Our approach to balance physical therapy is whole-person and one-on-one. Every session is led by a physical therapist who takes the time to understand not just your diagnosis, but your goals, your daily life, and what's actually getting in your way. Whether you're a senior looking for fall prevention support, someone recovering from cancer treatment, or navigating a progressive neurological condition, your care will be tailored specifically to you, not a template.
Core balance training exercises, gait retraining, sensory integration, and functional movement are woven into each session. We don't rush you through a program. We build the kind of strength, stability, and body awareness that makes a real difference, at home, on a walk, or wherever life takes you.
If you've been told your situation is too complex, or if you've struggled to find a provider who truly understands it, you've found the right place.
You've Been Told to "Be Careful" — But That's Not Enough
Being careful doesn't give you back your confidence. It doesn't stop the anxiety of navigating stairs, uneven ground, or a crowded room. And it certainly doesn't address what's actually driving your balance problems.
Many people struggling with balance have already been to a general physical therapy clinic, seen for 20 minutes, given a sheet of exercises, and sent on their way. Others have been told their condition (Parkinson's, neuropathy, post-cancer deconditioning) is just something to manage, not improve. Some have simply been overlooked by a system that wasn't built for complex, whole-person cases.
You deserve more than that. Your balance issues have a reason, and a path forward.
A Different Kind of Balance Physical Therapy
At Salt + Light Wellness, we take a whole-person approach to balance training — one built specifically for the patients that the traditional medical and PT systems often fail: people with cancer, Parkinson's, neuropathy, and other complex neurological conditions.
Our balance training approach draws from neuromuscular re-education, sensory integration techniques, core balance training exercises, gait retraining, and functional movement work. We assess the actual drivers of your instability — not just the symptom — and build a program that addresses them directly.
We believe that complex conditions deserve complex, thoughtful care. And we've seen what's possible when people who've been overlooked finally get it.

What Balance Training Can Do for You
When balance physical therapy is done well, and done for the right reasons, the results go well beyond just "not falling." Patients at Salt + Light Wellness work toward:
- Renewed confidence moving through daily life — stairs, outdoor surfaces, crowded spaces
- Reduced fall risk, particularly important for seniors and those with neurological conditions
- Improved gait and walking quality, especially for Parkinson's and neuropathy patients
- Greater independence at home and in the community
- Less fear — one of the most debilitating side effects of balance problems
- Better whole-body function, as stability underpins nearly every physical activity
For people living with complex conditions, this kind of progress can feel transformative. And for seniors in the Carson City area, fall prevention through physical therapy is one of the highest-impact investments in long-term independence you can make.
