Overcome Fear of Falling

Experiencing just one bad fall can have debilitating consequences and lead to serious injury, immobility, as well as decreased confidence in performing everyday tasks and attending social events.

Reason for falls

There are several underlying factors that can lead to falls – muscular weakness, decreased vision, impaired sensation, etc.
