Fall prevention should begin before the first fall
Many families don't know where to start when they notice an aging parent becoming less steady, less active, or more hesitant around the home.
I've spent years working in the homes of older adults across Ontario and BC, and I've seen how much life changes when someone starts to feel unsteady.
Here's the good news: steadiness can be rebuilt, and the earlier you start, the easier it is. In this webinar I'll share the same practical strategies I use with my clients every week.
Melissa Gunstone, Registered Kinesiologist and Founder of HomeStretchYou are not alone in wondering where to begin. The Public Health Agency of Canada reports that 20 to 30 percent of Canadian seniors experience one or more falls each year. The encouraging part is that strength, balance, and a few thoughtful changes around the house can shift those odds.
In this practical webinar, Melissa Gunstone will explain how strength, balance, confidence, and the home environment work together to influence fall risk. You will leave with realistic strategies you can begin using immediately, without overwhelming your loved one.
