Stay Healthy: Simple Steps to Improve Balance & Prevent Falls
The Falls Prevention Coalition of Idaho (FPC-ID) is presenting a seminar series in honor of the 2023 Falls Prevention Awareness Month (FPAM). In this seminar, simple, at-home exercises are demonstrated, both standing and sitting, that allow a person to gain strength, balance, and flexibility, the combination of which is the key to preventing falls.
The goal is to bring awareness and prevention strategies to individuals, families, caregivers, communities, and civic leaders, of the incidence, outcomes, and costs of falls. With this knowledge, simple strategies can be implemented to reduce falls risk in public and private spaces, and individuals will be empowered to make decisions that reduce their risk of falling. This seminar is designed for community members who are interested in healthy aging and the impact of falls on public health.
