The Sussex County YMCA – Active Adult Day – Lunch Talk

Guest speaker Dr Joseph Nakouzi will give a demonstration on fall recovery for seniors. Dr. Nakouzi is a Physical Therapy Specialist in Hamburg, New Jersey. He graduated with honors in 2004. Having more than 15 years of diverse experiences, especially in physical therapy.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified falls as the leading cause of injury - both fatal and nonfatal for those over 65. Roughly one-third of seniors will experience a fall in their lifetime. A sound preventive practice for seniors is to improve their level of physical fitness as much as possible through regular exercise. Regular activity and even physical therapy can help maximize functioning, which can be a strong factor in post-fall recovery. Some exercises done during recovery help to improve things like balance, muscle strength and even eye-tracking ability that helps the person quickly get back on their feet.
