Have
you had a fall?
Do you ever feel unsteady?
Are you frightened of falling?
Or
do you know an older person who would answer yes?
Then
read on!
1
in 3 over 65 year olds will fall in any one year. Among the over 80s that
rises to 1 in 2! While some falls are unavoidable many can be prevented.
Falling is not an inevitable result of growing older. Reduced
strength, balance and speed of reaction may turn a slip, trip or stumble
into a fall.
Research shows that for many
people who are at high risk of falling one of the most effective
interventions is strength and balance training. The Get Fit, Avoid Falls
programme is designed to help people over 60 living in Bucks improve their
strength and balance in a friendly group setting. Programmes are run in
leisure centres across the county.
If you’d like to find out more,
ring Lucie Posnett on 0844 2252 403. For information about falls and bone
health generally see
http://www.bucksfallsprevention.co.uk.
The results of a fall can be
devastating to an older person in terms of loss of confidence, mobility and
independence as well as pain and discomfort. The Get Fit, Avoid Falls
programme has been shown to reduce falls and increase confidence. I hope
you will be willing to promote the programme; if you have any queries,
please contact me.
