For seniors, falls are the number one cause of injury and subsequent decline. But they are not inevitable! Proper care and proactive measures go a long way to preventing falls. Research shows that regular strength and balance exercises can greatly reduce the risk of falls (scientific paper here).
We put together the flyer below to demonstrate some simple exercises seniors can do to help improve balance. Make sure you talk with your doctor before starting any exercise program, but this shows that you can effect great change without expensive exercise equipment.
Call Assisting Hands Broomfield if you are concerned about a loved one falling! We provide free consultations and can help connect you with resources that can help keep seniors independent.
