Fall Risk and Prevention 101

Hally® Healthcast is the monthly wellness podcast from Hally® health. This month, we’re discussing fall risk and prevention. Every year, millions of Americans fall. And although you might not think so, falls are often very serious. In fact – according to the CDC – over 800,000 Americans a year are hospitalized because of falls, and falls commonly cause broken bones and severe head injuries. Here with us to talk about falls – and most importantly, how to lower your risk – are two experts from Carle Health, headquartered in Urbana, Illinois. Amy Luchinski is a senior physical therapist, and Laura Lyon – also a physical therapist – is a vestibular rehab specialist.
