Medicare's Annual Wellness Visit reduces healthcare costs. Topics covered include balance and strength training - important keys to longevity and brain health. If you or family members have not had an AWV then ask for one….. "Help your doctor help you!" https://t.co/NQH0nLInDn
Hurricane Ian was a “500 yr storm”, but conservationists like Elizabeth Moore, who conserved 1143 acres at Triangle Ranch for this exact watershed purpose helped SWFL manage post-Ian floods - thx Ms. Moore https://t.co/pp2f6HsR4L
PROUD of Dr. Rhonda Deems (Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast), who’s in D.C. speaking on land conservation at the Land Trust Alliance Advocacy Days #Land4All. Rep Greg Steube @RepGregStuebe devoted time to discuss protection of land & critical watershed areas in SWFL.
September is National Fall Prevention Awareness Month. Falls due to inactivity and isolation from COVID are up 30%. Be on ALERT and Prevent a Fall! https://t.co/CE3479h5I3
PTs are the heroes who cure imbalance - w/o them those home bound by quarantine are more likely to fall. Tell Congress to Waive Restrictions on the Use of Telehealth for Physical Therapy Services: Support the CONNECT for Health Act (H.R. 4923/S. 2741) https://t.co/VKFK02t6YO
We’ll spend $68 B on Falls in the US this year! Falls during pregnancy are common, with many changes occurring like a change in center of gravity. Test your balance- make sure you’re stable. Seek medical attention if you’re unsteady!
@rachelbotkinPT @HomeHealthAPTA @APTA_Geriatrics@OCHCHStaff @APTAtweets The US will spend $68B in 2020 on falls- I agree - give your family and friends the gift of life. Balance therapy is effective even to 99 yrs https://t.co/eQ7lUrUeCJ
@SteadyUOhio Over $50Billion is spent annually on falls - already surpassing the amount predicted in 2020. Try adding a simple single leg stand for the FRA! The best quick test for fall risk.
Recent CDC results show that 28,486 people died from a fall in 2015 - 1 every 18 minutes, yet only 40% of doctors ask about fall risk-Let's ask shall we?
