Fall Prevention: Stay on your own two feet
Tues., Sept. 20 at 10 am in the Mountain View Lodge Ballroom
Did you know one in three seniors fall each year but
less than half talk to their doctors about them? Falls
are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries/
fractures to seniors. Fear of falling can lead to reduced
mobility and increased risk of falls. Risk of falls can be
reduced with education and preparation.
Join us on Tues., Sept. 20 at 10 am in the Mountain
View Lodge Ballroom when speaker Bill Fredricksen,
DPT, Director of Rehabilitation at The Village Healthcare
Center and Board Certified Specialist in Geriatric Physical
Therapy, discusses the importance of preventing falls.
You will learn: What are the most common types of
falls; How you can prevent falls; How to improve your
balance; How to safeguard your environment; What are
the recommended treatments after a fall.
