Growth happens below the surface. On days you don’t see it, trust that your consistency is working.

🙌 Every second, one adult over the age of 65 falls in the U.S. — but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Physical therapy can help you:
✔️ Improve balance and mobility
✔️ Reduce your risk of falling
✔️ Maintain independence longer

Falls are preventable. Let’s make every step a safe one. Reach out today to learn how we can help.

09/24/2025

✅ The good news: falls can be prevented.

Research from the National Institute on Aging shows that patient-specific exercise programs significantly reduce fall risk. Just a few minutes each day makes a difference.

Try:
Heel-to-toe walking
Sit-to-stand from a chair
Standing balance holds

Physical therapy offers proven, cost-effective strategies to keep older adults strong, steady, and independent.

09/23/2025

💰 Falls don’t just affect health — they come with a high price tag.

$50 billion in medical costs (2015)
$101 billion projected by 2030
$30,000 average hospital stay per fall injury
$81,300 average lifetime cost per patient

Fall prevention saves lives and resources. Investing in safety and prevention today protects health and reduces costs tomorrow.

09/22/2025

⚠️ Falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults 65 and older.

Every year in the U.S.:
36 million older adults experience a fall
3 million visit the ER for fall-related injuries
32,000 lives are lost due to accidental falls

Falls aren’t just common; they’re preventable. This Fall Prevention Week, we’re raising awareness to help you and your loved ones stay strong, steady, and safe.

09/11/2025

Today, we pause to remember.

On September 11, 2001, our nation changed forever. We honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the families who continue to carry their memory forward.

May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, and unity shown on that day.

🕯️ In remembrance of 9/11.

09/01/2025

Today we honor the hard work, dedication, and contributions of workers everywhere. Wishing you a safe, healthy, and happy Labor Day!
