Fall Prevention and recovery workshopSaturday, November 7th 10am-12pm
Falls can be a common concern for people living with Parkinson’s disease—but learning how to move safely, improve balance, and respond confidently after a fall can make a meaningful difference.
This specialized program, taught by a physical therapist, is designed to help people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers develop practical skills for fall prevention and fall recovery. Participants will learn strategies to improve balance, mobility, strength, and confidence while gaining hands-on instruction in safe techniques for getting up from the floor after a fall. Topics will include: ● Strategies to reduce fall risk during everyday activities ● Balance and mobility exercises tailored to Parkinson’s ● Techniques for safely getting down to and up from the floor ● How caregivers can provide appropriate assistance after a fall ● Practical tips for creating a safer home environment ● Building confidence and independence with movement |
