“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”…
… and that’s what fall prevention is all about – preventing serious falls along with the pain, inconvenience, and debilitating results that accompany them.
Remember Humpty Dumpty?
Human beings, especially older ones, break when they fall too and even though medicine is making great strides, they’re NEVER going to put you back as good as you were before you fell.
If you’re afraid, you’re not alone
One of the most common fears of older adults is the fear of falling. Not only do you want to avoid the possible injury that falling might bring, but you also want to avoid being an inconvenience to your family.
But mostly, you do not want to lose the ability to maintain your independent way of life.
Here’s the good news: Over 50% of all falls can be prevented!
The good news is that these fears can be addressed and removed, because the risk of most falls can be greatly reduced with the proper preventive measures.
Fall prevention is about a combination of education, lifestyle modification, and exercises that are designed to prevent you from falling and allow you to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle and by coming here you have just made the first step to preventing falls!
Here’s what fall prevention involves:
Educating yourself will give you power. You cannot prevent a fall if you don’t know what is causing you to lose your balance.

Exercise is essential to control your body. Fall prevention research demonstrates that staying active is the #1 way to prevent falls.
- There are 4 types of exercise that you should be doing to prevent falls.
- It doesn’t have to be strenuous but a fall prevention exercise program must include these four different types of movement.
