- Fear of falling is a real #anxiety disorder that can be treated. The older we become the higher our risk for developing “fear of falling”.
Here’s the kicker: this fear often results in older adults withdrawing and limiting their mobility which has the effect of increasing the risk of falls 🤦🏽♀️
Good news! There are many evidence-based treatments available, including a combination of physical therapy, psychotherapy, and medication management.
If you have a loved one or client experiencing fear of falling encourage them to seek out resources with their primary care provider and request a referral to a physical therapist.
You have an important role in helping older adults get the care they need. 🤗
