"We know that loss of balance is the number-one reason older adults fall,” says Kelly Bridgman, MS, associate executive director at the Crosby YMCA Wellness Center in Winter Park, Florida.
According to Ken Alan, who has served as a fitness consultant for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, “Younger people get bruised when they fall; older people get broken bones when they fall.
To address this concern, Regal Medical has put together the Fall Prevention program.
The class focuses on exercises that improve foot, ankle and lower-body muscle strength, visual acuity, neck flexibility and ankle dexterity."
