Fall Prevention with Pharmacist Melissa Overly and Physical Therapist Michelle McCann

Fall prevention may not seem like a lively topic, but it's important.  Each year, millions of adults aged 65 and older fall.  Falls can cause moderate to severe injuries, but the most important message is that falls can be prevented.  Falls are often considered to be part of a syndrome.  In other words, more than one thing may be causing the condition.  As a result, there is often a benefit from a team approach where various disciplines can contribute to the assessment and treatment of the condition.  Today, our discussion includes both a physical therapist and a pharmacist to get their perspectives on fall prevention.    https://www.medshoprx.com/blog/topic-perspectives-on-fall-prevention-melissa-overly-medicine-center-pharmacy-michelle-mccann-physical-therapist-aultman-therapy-services
