47: Pay Attention: Falling Is Avoidable

No one wants to fall. We even rename classes to Moving for Better Balance to avoid planting the seed of falling, thinking this will help if we don’t say the word - fall. Today UC Health’s Lori Morgan, will talk us through the physical, physiological and mental causes of falls. We’ll bet there is news here for our listeners. We close with practices to build confidence, stability and the renewed strength to take on your next activity and, of course, learn how to roll out of bed in a new way.
