National Falls Prevention Awareness Day – September 22

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have statistics that one third of older adults (65+) fall each year in the United States.  And of those falls, 20% to 30% suffer moderate to severe injuries.  Physical therapy plays a huge part in keeping people moving, strong and stable.   Check out this great video below to see more on fall prevention.
