Take steps to reduce your risk of injuries when falling

Get practical advice during Suburban Lecture

Every year, one out of three adults aged 65 and over experiences an unexpected fall. In most cases, falls can be prevented.

Most of our instinctive actions when we start to fall are more likely to get us hurt. You can’t always avoid a fall, but you can reduce the injury it may cause.

A Suburban Hospital Physical Therapist will share practical and useful changes that can be made at home and while on the move to prevent the incident of preventable falls during this month’s lecture on Wednesday, June 10, from 1 to 2 p.m., at the Village Center.

This lecture is a partnership between Suburban Hospital and the Friendship Heights Village Center. Registration is required.
