Did you know that every year more than 1 in 4 seniors over the age of 65 fall? Did you know that the most common reasons for falling can be preventable?
Every September, FYZICAL clinics across the country join together to βFight the Fallβ by spreading awareness of the danger of falls and how falls can be prevented.
Fall-proof your home to greatly decrease your risk of falling:
π¦©Make sure you have clear walkways, rid of clutter, throughout your home.
π¦©Use double-sided tape or non-slip backing on your throw rugs to ensure they will not slip as you walk on them.
π¦©Make sure you have adequate lighting throughout your home so you can fully see while moving around in the day and night.
π¦©Fix loose or broken handrails. Make sure you have handrails on both sides of the stairs.
Utilize these above tips to help protect yourselves or your loved ones from falling in your home!
