week

It’s Falls Prevention Week, a time to shine a spotlight on something that affects 1 in 3 people over 65 every year and something we work hard to raise awareness about.

Falls aren’t just about physical injuries. They’re a leading cause of:
- Loss of independence
- Entry into long-term care
- Fear of falling
- Increased inactivity
- Loss of strength and mobility
- Reduced quality of life

The good news? Falls are preventable. With the right awareness, exercise, and support, we can help people stay stronger, safer, and independent for longer. If you are worried about your own health or someone you loves, get in touch today!

Let’s start the conversation 💛
