Falls Prevention Awareness Day
September 22nd is National Falls Prevention Awareness Day, a pivotal date that FYZICAL highlights through our annual “Fight The Fall!” initiative. This September, we are offering FREE Fall Risk Screenings to help individuals of all ages identify their risk of falling. With falls being one of the leading causes of serious injuries, such as broken bones or head injuries, our goal is to provide early intervention that can save lives and improve quality of life.
Gait and Balance Training
Did you know that one out of five falls results in a serious injury? Each year, at least 300,000 older adults are hospitalized due to hip fractures alone. These alarming statistics demonstrate the importance of taking proactive steps to reduce the risk of falling. At FYZICAL, we emphasize the critical role of gait and balance training, which offers a range of benefits, including injury prevention, increased confidence in movement, and reduced pain from poor posture or gait.
Why do Falls Occur?
Understanding why falls occur is key to preventing them. Falls happen when the body’s balance is disrupted, typically due to issues within the sensory and motor systems. Your brain relies on information from various senses to maintain balance, and when these signals are compromised, the risk of falling increases. Our fall risk assessments at FYZICAL are designed to diagnose the underlying causes of dizziness or poor balance, offering targeted solutions to improve your stability.
