Medicare doesn't pay that much for physical therapy and you have to save it
for when you get injured or the arthritis gets the best of you. LOL.

You can also get physical therapy to improve your balance.  Most insurances
will pay for physical therapy because they don't want you to fall.  You
might ask your primary care doctor to write you a prescription for physical
therapy.
