In older adults, falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries. Most people don’t think about keeping their balance in shape until it is too late and they suffer a harsh fall. The good news is that most falls can easily be prevented, simply by the regular exercising of your balance system. If you have recently sustained a balance- related injury, it is important to seek the help of a physical therapist immediately, in order to avoid additional injuries in the future. It is important to note that you should also contact a physical therapist if you have any of the following symptoms: • Dizziness or vertigo (“spinning” sensations, even when remaining still). #fightthefall
When was the last time you had your balance checked? No matter what age you are, your balance can always be improved - in fact, even those who do not live with a balance or gait disorder can still suffer from balance-related injuries that occur from poor posture or reflexes. However, if you frequently notice an imbalance, dizziness, or unsteadiness that makes you feel as if you may fall over at any given time, it is a sign that you may be living with a balance or gait disorder. Balance disorders, and balance issues in general, all stem from the vestibular system. The vestibular system is a delicate collection of fluid-filled chambers and sensory nerves located in the inner ear. Your vestibular system helps manage your “proprioception,” or sense of position, and when this is altered, it can be difficult to keep yourself steady. If you have been noticing issues with your balance, call us today so we can help you figure out the root of your problem and treat it accordingly. How can I tell if I need to improve my balance? It can sometimes be difficult to determine if your balance is in need of improvement. The simple test below may be an indicator that you should seek physical therapy intervention: • Stand barefoot next to a counter, sink, or chair with your hand gently grasping the counter surface. • Put one foot directly in front of the other, so that one heel is touching the opposite toes. • Gently lift your hand up, but keep it close to the counter in case you need to grab it quickly. Try to hold this for 10 seconds (only do this if you feel safe or have someone nearby to help you). • Now try it with your eyes closed. • Do you wobble or lose your balance? This means your balance needs work.
• Inability to focus or remain alert. • Double vision or tunnel vision.
• Nausea or vomiting. • Arm or leg weakness. • Abnormal eye movements. • Difficulty standing up from a seated position or standing for prolonged periods of time.
According to the Centers For Disease Control (CDC), over 2.5 million adults were treated for nonfatal injuries in emergency departments in

WHAT’S CAUSING MY BALANCE ISSUES?
There are several factors that can impact your balance. Just a few include:
• Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). • Meniere’s disease. • Vestibular neuritis. • Migraines. • Poor posture. • Injury or ailment. • Neurological issues, such as brain injuries, stroke, or Parkinson’s disease. The make-up of your treatment plan will be dependent upon the origin of your balance issue. When you arrive at FYZICAL - Phoenix, your physical therapist will walk you through a comprehensive exam in order to gauge the nature of your condition and figure out the best course of treatment for your needs. Whatever the case may be, all treatment plans will contain targeted balance exercises and stretches to help improve your core, vestibular system, and overall proprioception. Depending on your condition, vestibular rehabilitation and videonystagmography may also be included in your treatment plan. Are you ready to get back on your feet and decrease your risk of sustaining a balance-related injury? Contact us to schedule a consultation and get started today!

MESSAGE FROM SANDI, PT/OWNER
Hey FYZICAL Family, did you know that Sept. 21st is the first day of the fall season? Coincidentally it is also National FALL Prevention Awareness Week! The only things that should be falling this season are leaves! It’s time to take action on fall prevention.
As the world contends with the long-term effects of COVID-19 on physical and emotional health, what can we learn from other countries whose first cases occurred months before the U.S.? For instance, in Australia in June, approximately 2 months after their “first wave” had passed, the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), reported that falls due to COVID-19 physical inactivity and isolation were up 30%. The APA note, “...While well meaning, infection control measures taken by aged care providers have had the perverse effect of accelerating physical, mental and emotional decline inmany cases….. The lack of activity and exercise will have significantly impacted …. their mobility, strength and balance and their cognitive and mental health”. Cost of falls in the U.S. in 2020 was estimated at $68 Billion -- if a similar 30% increase in falls occurs in the U.S. as a result of being sedentary during COVID, it is possible the U.S. could spend $88 Billion on falls this year. With the U.S. economy already strained, and many Americans devastated both physically and mentally from COVID-19 -- Fall Prevention Awareness Week couldn’t be more important this year! So, what’s your next step? Call 602-404-8012 right now to schedule your FREE fall risk assessment this week! Together, we can Fight the Fall! Love Your Life!
