From our Jonesboro clinic:
• About 1 in 8 women (13%) in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their lifetime.
• When breast cancer is found at a localized stage (before it has spread), the 5-year relative survival rate is over 99%.
• Breast cancer death rates in the U.S. have dropped 44% since 1989, largely thanks to earlier detection through screening and major advances in treatment.

WATCH FOR THE SIGNS. FIGHT THE FALL. 👀

Fall risk doesn’t always announce itself with a fall. Sometimes, the signs show up in small changes to the way you move through your day.

Are you or someone you love:

🪑 Holding onto furniture while walking around the house?
👟 Avoiding stairs because they feel difficult or unsafe?
🐢 Walking slower than you used to?
⚖️ Feeling unsteady or unsure on your feet?

These may be signs that your balance or strength needs some attention.

Don’t wait for a fall to take action. Recognizing the signs early can be an important first step toward improving your balance, building confidence, and staying independent.

This Fight The Fall, pay attention to the signs and take the next step toward a safer, more confident you.

FIGHT THE FALL RIGHT FROM HOME! 🏠💪

You don’t have to wait for a fall to start working on your balance. Small, consistent exercises at home can help you build confidence and challenge your balance system.

Try these 4 simple balance exercises as part of your routine using the graphics as a guide.
Safety first: Perform these exercises in the corner of a room with a chair in front of you for stabilization and safety. If you feel unsteady, stop and seek guidance from a physical therapy professional.

1️⃣ Feet Together — Eyes Closed
Stand with your feet together and hold each head position for:
• Set 1: 5 seconds
• Set 2: 10 seconds
• Set 3: 15 seconds

2️⃣ Heel-to-Toe — Eyes Closed
Place the instep of one foot against the big toe of the other foot. Repeat on the right and left sides, holding each head position for 5, 10, and 15 seconds.

3️⃣ Heel-to-Toe — Eyes Open
Place one foot directly in front of the other, with your heel touching your toe. Repeat right and left, holding each head position for 5, 10, and 15 seconds.

4️⃣ Single-Leg Stand — Eyes Open
Stand on one foot and repeat on the right and left sides. Work up to holding each head position for 5, 10, and 15 seconds.

🔁 Repeat each exercise 2 times per day.

Your balance is something you can work on. Your confidence is something you can build.

Fight the Fall. One step at a time.

BREAK THE FEAR. BREAK THE CYCLE.

Fear of falling can create a cycle that’s hard to escape:

Less confidence → More worry → Less movement → Feeling weaker → Even less confidence.

The less you move, the more your strength and confidence can suffer. And the more worried you become, the more you may avoid the activities you love.

But the cycle can be broken.

With the right support, targeted exercises, and a plan to improve strength and balance, you can start moving with confidence again.

Don’t let fear decide how far you go. Break the cycle. Break the fear.

This Fight The Fall, take the first step toward a stronger, more confident you.

Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! This year’s theme is Participation Matters; a powerful reminder that health and wellbeing are deeply connected to the things we do every day: getting dressed, cooking a meal, playing with our kids, going to work, or simply enjoying a hobby. Occupational therapists help remove the barriers (physical, cognitive, emotional, or environmental) that get in the way of meaningful participation. Here’s to the amazing OTs who help people live life to the fullest!

From our Ruston clinic:

• More than 85% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease.
• Approximately 80% of breast cancers occur in women with no specific risk factors other than being female and getting older.
• Regular mammograms remain the most effective way to find breast cancer early, when it is most treatable.
