5pm Balance, Dizziness, and Fall Prevention Workshop with OJ
6pm- Knee Pain Workshop with Dave
5PM Balance, Dizziness, and Fall Prevention Workshop with OJ
- Have you fallen in the past?
- Are you afraid of falling?
- Has your balance become more unsteady?
- Has your walking become more difficult?
- Have you started using a cane or walker recently? (Or have been told to… but are resisting?)
If you have answered yes to any of these questions (or have a stubborn spouse or parent who is in denial) – The Balance and Fall Prevention workshop may be a life-changing (and possibly life-saving) event for you.
As you get older your balance naturally begins to get worse. I see this every day and it can completely ruin your quality of life.
- You start to hold on to furniture when you walk
- You start to walk slower and constantly look at the floor
- You avoid going out of the house whenever possible
- You become more reliant on family members, often making you feel guilty about being a burden
- You are unable to enjoy life (go out with family/friends, take vacation etc.)
And the more you avoid doing these things the more fearful you become that you will fall. This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy!
The more you avoid moving…the more likely you are to experience depression, increased stress, muscle weakness, difficulty walking…and a host of other medical issues.
Here at Elite Spine and Sports Physical Therapy, our Balance and Fall prevention specialists have helped 1000’s of people from right here in the neighborhood improve their balance and get back to doing the things they love…it’s what we do. So by request, I’m hosting a Balance and Fall Prevention Workshop here at Elite Spine and Sports Physical Therapy.
If you’re confused about what to do and are looking for answers… here’s some of what you’ll learn:
- Who is most at risk of falling
- The 5 most common reasons people fall
- Quick do-it-yourself Balance tests to determine your risk of falling
- How medications can INCREASE your risk of falling
- Where is the most common location for falls in the home
- What you can do to make your home safer TODAY
- What is the best assistive device (cane walker etc.) for YOU
6PM Knee Pain Workshop with Dave
We know you’d rather be out walking with your friends and family, gardening, or simply getting on the floor to play with your grandchildren, but when you try, you pay the price of increased hip pain and stiffness.
Here is what you will learn from our Knee Pain Workshop:
- The number one biggest mistake you’re making that keeps you from getting better
- The reason why the lower back or knee on your problem side could be the main cause of your hip pain
- The type of natural therapy has been proven to reduce hip pain and get people moving again without medication, injections or surgery
