Look before you step

Slips and falls can happen at any time. They occur when you least expect it. Preventing falls can help you avoid falls that could lead to an extensive injury.

The American Physical Therapy Association noted that slips and falls are one of the most preventable accidents a person can suffer.

It is more common for a slip and fall to cause an emergency room visit then a stroke or cardiovascular condition.

A trend of common health problems that could lead to a fall are problems walking or moving around, taking 4 or more medications, foot problems, wearing unsafe footwear, blood pressure drops too much upon standing up, dizziness, problems with seeing, and tripping hazards in and around your home.

The American Physical Therapy Association has done studies to prove that physical therapy is the best form of treatment for any injuries resulting from a fall.

Physical therapists are experts in treating muscle or joint pain such as your back, neck, shoulder, knees, or ankles.
