If you are over 65, it's crucial to know your fall risk! Most insurance plans cover an annual Fall Risk Assessment. The natural loss of muscle strength is greatest in those in their 79th year - fact, not fiction! Get on a preventative program before you have to learn a rehab program - then stick to it!
