Are you or someone you care about living with the constant worry of falling? Fear of falling is a common concern, especially among older adults, and it can significantly impact one's quality of life. At Fyzical Therapy and Balance Centers, we understand the challenges associated with fear of falling, and we're here to offer support and solutions to help you overcome it.
Understanding Fear of Falling
Fear of falling is more than just a psychological issue – it can have physical and emotional consequences as well. The fear itself can lead to decreased physical activity, which can result in muscle weakness, reduced balance, and ultimately, an increased risk of falling. Additionally, the fear can cause anxiety, social isolation, and a loss of independence.
