After age 65, what is the most common injury? FALLING.
1 in 4 Adults fall every year. It’s costly in many ways. Some people don’t recover. And it’s getting worse.
What can be done to stop this trend?
Physical Therapist Alicia Nixon, owner of Garner Physical Therapy in Sun City Center, recommends strength and balance training, and using vitamins to keep your bones strong. In Europe, she says far fewer people fall, simply because they walk everywhere.
It’s constantly strengthening their legs and making falls less common.
To us Rotarians the message was clear. Stay busy. Stay fit. Stay strong, And stay upright!
