BALANCE Discussed Here How To Prevent Falls And Improve Your Unsteadiness
• Have you fallen in the past? • Are you afraid of falling? • Do you ever feel like the world is spinning and your equilibrium is off?
• Has your balance become more unsteady? • Has your walking become more difficult? • Have you started using a cane or walker recently?
If you answered yes to any of these questions (or if you have a stubborn spouse or parent who is in denial), the Balance and Fall Prevention Workshop may be a life- changing (and possibly lifesaving) event for you.
Dear Friends of Synergy Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine,
As you get older your balance naturally begins to get worse. I see this every day, and it can completely ruin your quality of life.
• You start to hold on to furniture when you walk • You start to walk slower and constantly look at the floor • You avoid going out of the house whenever possible • You are scared because your world spins as you move or lie down a certain way • You are afraid you will fall … or fall again • You become more reliant on family members, often making you feel guilty about being a burden • You are no longer able to enjoy life (go out with family and friends, take vacations, etc.)
And the more you avoid doing these things, the more fearful you become that you will fall, experience depression, increased stress, muscle weakness, and difficulty walking.
