Interested in learning how to improve your balance and help to decrease your risk of falling? Did you know that 1 in 4 adults over the age of 65 fall each year and that number is on the rise? Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among persons aged 65 and older.  

Join us for this Balance and Fall Prevention workshop with Madden & Gilbert Physical Therapy where we’ll cover: 

1 – The biggest mistake balance sufferers can make 

2 – The three major components of balance control 

3 – How to get up from the ground after a fall 

4 – What successful treatment for those struggling with falls and balance problems looks like 

This workshop will be taught by Dr. Dan Hinnerschitz who has 10+ years of experience in treating folks who have a history of falling due to decreased balance. This is a free workshop as part of the Park Rx Series of programs sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield.
