Free Balance Screenings in Bloomfield Before Thanksgiving, Nov. 16 to 20

Holsman Physical Therapy is offering free balance and fall-risk screenings Monday, Nov. 16, through Friday, Nov. 20, 2026, at its Bloomfield clinic, 44 Park St., and at all of its other clinics.

The screening uses the practice's NO FALL PROTOCOL®: the Berg Balance Scale, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the 4-Stage Balance Test. It takes about 20 minutes, and participants leave with their results and simple next steps.

According to the CDC, more than one in four adults age 65 and older falls each year, but less than half tell their doctor. Falling once doubles the chance of falling again.

"A fall is not a normal part of aging," said Dr. Richard Holsman, PT, DPT, NCS, founder of Holsman Physical Therapy. "A short screening can tell you where you stand, and most balance problems respond well to the right exercises."

Screenings are free and by appointment during regular clinic hours, weekdays 8 AM to 6 PM. No insurance or referral is needed for the screening.
