Description
Fight the Fall! This year the National Council on Aging's Falls Prevention Awareness Week runs September 23-27. Here at FYZICAL Therapy North Cary - we promote "Fight the Fall" throughout the fall season. As we age, it’s natural for us to experience concerns about falling. However, it’s important to understand that falls are not an inevitable part of aging. At FYZICAL Therapy North Cary, we specialize in fall prevention and helping adults stay steady on their feet. Almost all of us have experienced a fall at some point after losing their balance or tripping over something. Although common, falls can be dangerous and lead to various injuries or worse. Fortunately, the most common causes of falling are preventable. This workshop will explain the sensory systems needed for balance, tests for falls risk, common disorders that increase fall risk, and practical tips and exercises to improve/maintain balance. A light lunch will be provided! Presented by Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers.
