Want to Fall Less? Move More.
The #1 way to reduce fall risk doesn’t come in a bottle — it comes in reps.
One in four older adults falls each year. It's not just a scary stat — it's reality for families every day. But here's the good news: it’s also preventable.
A major Cochrane review (Sherrington et al., 2019) found that older adults who engage in regular strength and balance exercises reduce their fall risk by up to 35%. That’s not just a little — that’s the difference between staying independent and a trip to the ER.
And what kind of exercise helps most? Simple stuff: standing leg lifts, resistance band rows, and sit-to-stands. No need to become a gym rat. You just have to move with intention.
