How can a Fall Affect you?

A fall can shake your confidence, leading to a fear of falling again and avoiding activities you love.

This fear can limit independence and reduce social interactions.

The Fear of falling affects nearly 50% of older adults who’ve fallen before.

In truth: Avoiding movement can actually weaken your muscles and increase your risk of falling again. Staying active with guidance is key.
