More dates added to help spread the word about falls

Hot on the heels of a recent talk in Harcourt on falls, Dhelkaya Health’s falls expert is back.

Exercise physiologist Rebecca Dine has added two more dates to the calendar to help spread the word about falls, how to prevent them and how to assist someone who has fallen.

The two new sessions will be held in Castlemaine on 14 November and Newstead on 31 October.

This vital session will help attendees learn more about why falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalisations and deaths in Australia, accounting for a staggering 43% of injury hospitalisations and 42% of injury deaths.

As we age, the risk of falling, particularly at home, increases significantly so you’ll hear tips to help enhance your own safety and those of your friends and family.

No bookings are required—just come along and bring your friends and family. Let’s work together to create a safer community!

For more details call Dhelkaya Health on 5479 1000 and ask for Jennifer Miko or Rebecca Dine.
