Fyzical Therapy and Balance Center Spotlight Falls Prevention Awareness Day
The Giving Coast
SRQ DAILY WEDNESDAY PHILANTHROPY EDITION
WEDNESDAY SEP 25, 2019 |
Fyzical Bradenton and Ellenton, a physical therapy balance, dizziness and healthy lifestyle practice launched a fall prevention awareness initiative this past week on National Falls Prevention Awareness Day called "Fight the Fall" around the importance of reducing fall risks for the community's older population. The National Council on Aging and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites that one in four adults over the age of 65 falls, and the risk of falling increases with age and that falls account for 40 percent of all nursing home admissions. During the first 30 days of Fall (September 23 to October 22), the Bradenton and Ellenton FYZICAL team will offer free fall risk assessments. At FYZICAL, fall prevention is the cornerstone of their mission.
