An accidental fall can sound harmless, but it can potentially lead to life-threatening injuries.

Falls are preventable! Follow these three tips below to help reduce your risk of falling in your home:

- Utilize body leashes or baby gates for your pets to prevent them from running underneath your feet in your home. Consider keeping your furry friend where you usually only sit, like your living room.
- Remove all loose or unsecured throw rugs and items on the floor of your home. Throw rugs can buckle or have rolled up edges to catch your feet, creating a fall risk.
- Light up areas in your home where you might walk around when it's dark. As we age, we rely on our vision more and more to keep our balance. Utilize motion detector lights, so you're not looking for a switch in the dark.

The most common cause of vertigo is Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo or BPPV. This occurs when the tiny calcium crystals located in your ears break apart and move around to different parts of the ear that they are not supposed to be in. This can cause sudden spinning sensations (vertigo) and inner-ear discomfort.

If you are experiencing BPPV, FYZICAL Ocean Pines can help you manage your dizziness and vertigo!

If you work at a desk throughout most of the day, try to make your workstation more ergonomic. You can do this by keeping your wrists and hand straight while working on your computer, take standing breaks every hour, and sitting at arm's length from your computer.

Falling occurs because the body’s balance has been disrupted through the person’s sensory and/or motor systems. A person’s body can maintain balance because the brain receives and interprets information from several different types of senses:

• Vision (from the eyes) helps orient you to your environment.
• Proprioception or joint position sense (from your joints and muscles, telling your brain where your body is in space).
• The vestibular system (from the inner ear) senses motion, equilibrium, and head position.

Based on these inputs, the brain sends information to different muscles of the body to help maintain balance. Contact the FYZICAL nearest you to get a fall risk screening today.

Luckily, very few people who feel pain in their back have a serious medical problem. 🍀90% of people who experience low back pain for the first time get better in two to six weeks, but that's a long time to be in pain and most people who experience it once have it happen again. 😔

Something as simple as the shoes you wear can make a huge difference to your lower back. FYZICAL Ocean Pines is happy to serve people in Ocean City who have back pain.

Although many do not consider gardening a formidable activity, the reality is that gardening can result in as many injuries as a number of sports. One of the main contributing factors to gardening injuries is that many gardeners think of the activity as a casual afternoon of fun and therefore inadequately warm-up, stretch or prepare for the task at hand when they actually should (see Stretching Guide for Gardening).

In addition, repetitive tasks, as well as repetitive positioning such as sitting, kneeling or remaining bent over, go hand in hand with gardening. Both repetitive tasks and repetitive positioning are common causes that lead to injury.
