Step into Safety: FYZICAL’s ‘Fight The Fall!’ Initiative Combines Advanced Technology and Personalized Care to Prevent Falls This September
Fall Prevention Awareness
September marks the beginning of FYZICAL’s “Fight The Fall!” initiative, a dedicated effort to raise awareness about fall prevention, particularly among older adults and individuals at higher risk. Every 11 seconds, an older adult is treated in the emergency room for a fall, an alarming statistic that underscores the critical need for proactive measures. FYZICAL’s specialized balance training programs are designed to help patients regain confidence and improve their stability, significantly reducing the risk of falls and related injuries.
At the heart of FYZICAL’s approach is a combination of advanced technology and personalized care. Using state-of-the-art equipment such as the Shuttle Balance System, Infrared Video-Oculography Goggles (IVOG), and the Safety Overhead Support System (SOS), FYZICAL therapists are able to provide targeted treatment that addresses each patient’s unique needs. These tools allow for comprehensive fall prevention training, helping patients improve balance, strength, and gait while also addressing specific vestibular and sensory impairments.
Fight the Fall
The “Fight The Fall!” initiative also highlights the importance of ongoing education and support. Many fall victims, once treated in the ER, do not receive the necessary follow-up care to prevent future falls. FYZICAL aims to change this by offering detailed assessments and individualized treatment plans that focus on long-term recovery and prevention. By educating both patients and the broader community, FYZICAL is working to ensure that fewer individuals experience the life-altering consequences of a fall.
Fall Prevention
With a commitment to innovative therapy and patient-centered care, FYZICAL is leading the way in fall prevention. This September, as part of the “Fight The Fall!” initiative, the organization is inviting everyone to take proactive steps to safeguard their health or that of their loved ones. By partnering with FYZICAL, patients can access the resources and support they need to stay steady on their feet and live life to the fullest.
