Hello ,
At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, fall prevention is one of the cornerstones of our mission. We believe balance is core to your wellness which is why FYZICAL clinics across the country are joining together to Fight the Fall by spreading awareness of the danger of falls and how falls can be prevented.
We want to ensure you and your loved ones are prepared to stay safe and prevent falls for the remainder of the year. In our last message, we shared some important tips for fall prevention, including:
- Schedule an Annual Fall Risk Screening and discuss your fall history with a provider.
- Test your hearing and vision regularly.
- Use an assistive device if you need help feeling steady.
- Wear non-skid, supportive footwear to prevent slipping.
- Stay physically active to maintain balance and strength.
- Utilize resources like the NCOA or CDC for additional fall prevention advice.
Because falls are preventable, keeping these tips in mind for yourself and those you care about is key. As part of our ongoing commitment to your health and safety, we’re offering free fall risk screenings on October 3rd to help you assess and address any potential concerns.
To schedule your free screening, or to learn more about how FYZICAL can assist you year-round, simply give us a call at (605) 624-7246
