balance for living
Falling is NOT a natural progression of life &
most falls can be prevented.
When the fear of falling leads to a more sedentary and less social lifestyle, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy by diminishing the quality of life and increasing the risk of falling due to the loss of physical skills.
Prevention involves:
- Talking to you doctor, pharmacist and optometrist,
- Making sure your environment is safe, and
- Regularly strength train for balance.
