Did you know falling is not a normal part of aging? If you or someone you love is concerned about falling, please reach out to us and attend a free class. Therapy on the Move’s® Timeless Living Fall Prevention® program is now offered at two locations in Hampton Roads – the YMCAs at Portsmouth and Granby. We started our 8th running of Timeless Living at the Portsmouth YMCA earlier this month! We have reached 166 seniors with 99% showing improvement in function. Our program is comprised of 7 weekly sessions covering topics including identifying fall risk, home safety, medications, nutrition, healthy vision/healthy feet, community safety, and learning to fall safely. Each session is run by licensed physical therapists and licensed physical therapist assistants. We work with you on modifying behaviors and teach you simple exercises to decrease your risk of falling. During our final session, we teach you how to fall safely to minimize injury.
Since beginning in the spring of 2020, the Timeless Living Fall Prevention® program has reached 166 seniors throughout Hampton Roads. 99% of our participants have noted improvement in their physical abilities with 23% no longer being identified as being a fall risk. The best time to participate in a fall prevention program is before you begin falling. Do you want to wake up each day and do the things you love? Please sign up for a free class on our website (www.therapyonthemove.org) or call us at 757-343-9319.
