Keep Moving with Confidence: Free Seminar March 24
Join us on March 24 at 1:00 to learn simple, practical tips to help you improve your balance, build strength, and support hip health.
Falls are a leading cause of injury for older adults. But falls aren’t an inevitable part of aging.
The good news? There are many ways to reduce your risk of falling and keep moving with confidence.
We invite you to join physical therapists Ann Armstrong and Chris Martinez, along with occupational therapist Erica Liepelt, for a session focused on maintaining your balance and promoting hip health.
This session will provide simple, practical tips to help you improve your balance, build strength, and support hip health during everyday activities such as walking, using stairs, and doing household chores. We will also discuss easy changes you can implement at home to enhance safety and avoid common tripping hazards.
Simple Ways to Stay Steady
Prevention starts at home and in your daily routine. Experts recommend regular movement and social exercise. Walking daily and taking exercise or balance classes can make a real difference as they develop both strength and balance.
Your home environment matters, too. Removing throw rugs, using nightlights, and installing handrails in bathrooms and stairways can reduce hazards. If needed, canes or walkers can provide extra support and confidence.
