Hey , did you know that today is the first day of the fall season?

 

The only things that should be falling this season are leaves! 

It’s time to take action on fall prevention. 

 

As the world contends with the long-term effects of COVID-19 on physical and emotional health, can Americans learn by example from other countries whose first cases occurred months before the U.S.?  For instance, in Australia in June, approximately 2 months after their “first wave” had passed, the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), reported that falls due to COVID-19 physical inactivity and isolation were up 30%.  

 

The APA note, “...While well meaning, infection control measures taken by aged care providers have had the perverse effect of accelerating physical, mental and emotional decline in many cases…..The lack of activity and exercise will have significantly impacted …. their mobility, strength and balance and their cognitive and mental health”.

 

Cost of falls in the U.S. in 2020 was estimated at $68 Billion -- if a similar 30% increase in falls occurs in the U.S. as a result of being sedentary during COVID, it is possible the U.S. could spend $88 Billion on falls this year.

 

With the U.S. economy already strained, and many Americans devastated both physically and mentally from COVID-19 -- Fall Prevention Awareness Week couldn’t be more important this year!

 

So, what’s your next step? Call (719) 495-3133 right now to schedule your FREE fall risk assessment this week! 

 

Together, we can Fight the Fall!

 

Love Your Life!
