Are You a Fall Risk? Do You Have Difficulty Walking?
As luck will have it, we are having a Free Screening Day this St. Patty’s Day!
Falling and poor balance can completely ruin your life or even end your life. I’ve seen it many times ... • Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall, and every 19 minutes, an older adult dies from a fall. • Falls are the leading cause of traumatic death in people over 65 years old. • Falls affect every third American over 65 years old, with 1 in 3 people falling each year. • Falls can cause you to break a bone, have surgery, and be bedbound. • Falls can cause fear and self-limiting thoughts, which lead to less activity and more health problems. • Falls can take away your ability to live life and cause you to rely on others. Less enjoyment of life can cause depression, increased stress, and a sedentary lifestyle, which can lead to bigger health and life problems. So, by request, I’m helping to fight back against this epidemic by hosting this Balance and Fall Prevention Day. Call for your free screening at our Balance and Fall Prevention Day! 718.747.2019
