Enhanced Physical Therapy and CHI Health at Home present Fall Prevention Assessment Day
Date:
October 26, 2022
Event Description:
October is National Physical Therapy Month, and to celebrate, we would like to visit and evaluate your fall risk through a variety of fall assessments. On October 26th at the Lied Senior Center, starting at 12:30, therapists from Enhanced PT and CHI Health at Home will be there to run you through a couple assessments that will measure strength and balance which can indicate your level of fall risk. If you or an older adult in your life has fallen, you’re not alone. More than one in three people age 65 years or older fall each year. The risk of falling — and fall-related problems — rises with age. Staying active is important to keeping your body healthy and actually helps to prevent falls. So don’t let a fear of falling keep you from being active! Learn about what causes falls and how to lower your risk of falling so you can feel more comfortable with staying active.
