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.

✅ 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.

💰 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!

👋 Hello everyone! My name is Kylee Roberts, and I’ve had the amazing opportunity to work as a Physical Therapy Technician at both the Mount Zion and Forsyth ApexNetwork Physical Therapy locations!

This school year, I’ll be a senior at Mount Zion High School, and I’m beyond excited to continue exploring my passion for helping others. My interest in physical therapy began as a patient, inspired by the kindness and care shown to me by Chad Hatayama and Michelle Marquis. They made a lasting impact, and it made me want to do the same for others!

This internship has only confirmed my passion for the field, and I’m so thankful for the patients and staff who welcomed me, taught me, and made this experience truly unforgettable.

Thank you, ApexNetwork PT—especially the Mtz & Forsyth teams—for helping shape my future!

🟩 Thank you Kylee for all your hard work this summer!! We are so appreciative to all our PT techs for helping our clinics run smoothly. Best of luck to you in your senior year at Mt Zion HS!!

I graduated from Taylorville High School in 2023, and I will be heading into my junior year at Millikin University in the fall studying Exercise Science. I am also on the Cross Country and Track teams at Millikin. After I complete my undergraduate at Millikin, I plan to go to graduate school to become a physical therapist. I am interested in physical therapy because I love to see and help people with their fitness and rehabilitation goals. Getting to work with patients at Apex this summer and seeing their progression has been a rewarding experience, and has only made me more excited about this career.

Getting real-world experience this summer has been super valuable, and it’s made me even more excited about this career path. Huge thanks to everyone at ApexNetwork Physical Therapy for all the support and for making this such a great experience. I can’t wait to keep learning and growing this fall!
