It’s not “new news” that Americans are now living longer than ever. At Cary Physical Therapy we do our very best to help our older adults stay active and healthy while holding on to their independence. Yet every 14 seconds, an older adult will risk losing mobility and freedom in a fall related injury. Did you know that about one third of the elder population over the age of 65 falls each year, AND the risk of falls increases proportionately with age? At 80 years, over half of seniors fall annually. Falling is not only caused by physical things, but psychologically, we are more likely to fall if we THINK that we are going to fall.

Cary Physical Therapy can help!

• We can help to identify risks which predispose older adults to fall
• Provide an assessment to determine the participant’s fall risk
• We also can demonstrate some “tricks of the trade” to help
keep YOU on YOUR feet.

Give us a call…. Strong Today, “Falls Free” Tomorrow
