Either you’re thinking “it won’t happen to me”, or you’re thinking “it’s going to happen to me”! Why not learn more about the risks of falling and the methods for preventing or recovering from a fall? How does fear play a role in possibly increasing risk? How does good lighting decrease risk?
Sue Rushfirth, a Registered Physical Therapist at Parmenter Community Health, will share her insights into the psychology of fall risk, the physical aspects and how to decrease risk and increase strength and balance in the first workshop.
The second workshop in the series will feature training on what to do if you have fallen (because it may happen even with the best of prevention). Learn what to do if you fall – whether to get up, when to call for help and more.
