What do you do to prevent falls?

I regularly participate in "Core" classes that strengthen your abdominals and help with back pain. Also, Pilates is good. With a strong core, you can right yourself quickly if you're sliding on ice in the winter, or falling for other reasons. Here in Northern Indiana, I noticed it right away a few winters ago, after I began taking Core classes.

@judybradford . I am a retired OT with neuropathy,,.also at risk for falling. I have developed a presentation about fall prevention. It is not focussed on exercise which of course is helpful. It rather focusses on practical ways to navigate your home, and environment to be a safe as possible. Lots of practical tips about our daily practices to keep us safe. I recently wrote an article for The Western Association of Neuropathy...will be in their October newsletter. I am happy to help anyone out there who would like to know about my presentation. I do it for free for non profits and for anyone I meet who is in need. I am not sure how you can contact me. I will give you my website; hopefully that is ok with Mayo Connect.
