Our client Roy training with our Exercise Physiologist Sean. Balance practice was on the agenda this morning 👍
Reducing risk of falls is important for the 60+ age group. 30% of adults over 65 experience at least one fall per year. One of the most serious outcomes of a fall is a fractured hip- about 25% of these cases result in loss of life and for those who survive around 30% never regain complete mobility.
After falling, almost 50% of older people report they have a fear of falling again and 25% decrease the amount of activities they are involved in. The result of a fall is not just loss of confidence but can also be a decrease in mobility and independence and a resulting decrease in quality of life.
Come and join Sean in our group classes at 9am Mon-Thurs. Balance and falls prevention is part of these classes. Prices start at $25/week. Give us a call for more information on 3279 1587.
