Fall Prevention Program Vernon

Are you or someone you know at risk for a fall? If you are more than 60 years of age, you may be at risk.

Why are we more likely to have a fall as we get older?

There are many things that happen to our bodies as we age that contribute to the risk of falling. Normal age-related changes in eyesight, hearing and balance can make you more likely to fall, as well as conditions, injuries or weaknesses that can affect your strength and balance.

Interesting FACTS:

  • Falls are the leading cause of injury, death and hospitalizations among older adults
  • Over 30% of older adults who are hospitalized for a fall end up in long-term care
  • Falls account for 85% of injury-related hospitalizations among older adults
  • 95% of hip fractures are a result of a fall
  • Falls are the most common cause of an emergency department or hospital visit in Canada

Let us help you reduce the risk.

Easthill Physiotherapy has created a new Fall Prevention Program to help our clients reduce the risk of serious falls. We’ve shaped our program after evidenced-based models which show that a combination of supervised balance and strength training along with home exercises will greatly reduce the risk of falling.

REDUCE YOUR RISK!

– Eight x 60-minute small group classes with our Registered Kinesiologist

In addition to the 8 small group classes, you will receive a home program of exercises and a ton of fall prevention education and information.

COVID-19 SAFETY

Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture Clinic has protocols to ensure the utmost safety for our patients, team and community. We have worked hard to protect our public health during this pandemic. Medical masks are mandatory for all staff and patients to keep everyone safe, and we appreciate your commitment.

We continue to follow the guidelines and protective measures indicated by our regulatory boards and governments. Our team has also had extensive training on our new protocols, and we are all 100% committed to ensuring our patients’ safety.

This is the new normal.

All patients and staff will be screened before each visit. Unfortunately, anyone showing signs of respiratory infection will be unable to come into the clinic. We will encourage and book virtual physiotherapy appointments for those that need help but are symptomatic if a client is at greater risk or for anyone who is not comfortable coming into the clinic.

We have the highest standards for hand hygiene and cleaning. All equipment and rooms will be disinfected after each use, frequently touched surfaces will be sterilized, and personal protective equipment will be used in all appropriate situations. Patients and staff will have hand washing stations to ensure proper frequent hand hygiene.

We also understand that it is necessary to reduce the risk of transmission with physical distancing. To do this, we have installed plexiglass barriers, reduced the number of appointments available by spreading them out and designed an optimal patient flow that minimizes contact with other patients and staff before and after appointments. Our team is also committed to practicing these as measures of hand hygiene and physical distancing outside the clinic to be safe when they return to work.

Although it may seem different with the steps we need to take, the Easthill Physiotherapy + Acupuncture team is still the same! We still believe in the same values and are here to provide an extraordinary physiotherapy experience. This is not going to change. Our goal is to keep all of us healthy and happy.

Our fabulous admin team is available to book in-clinic appointments now. Or if you prefer a virtual physiotherapy visit, we can book that too. Please call us at 250-545-2922 to book an appointment or if you would like more information.
