Do you want to maintain your independence at home?
Falling in your home can be devastating.
Learn how to prevent falls and maintain your independence.
Have you ever thought about what life would be like if you had a fall in your home?
What if you broke a hip or hit your head due to a fall?
What if you had to go to the hospital?
What if you had to go through surgery and months of rehab to hopefully get back to living in your own home? What if you couldn’t go back home but had to go into a nursing home?
Would a nursing home stay gobble up your hard-earned nest egg for you or your loved one?
Greetings, I'm Shawn Waller.
As a doctor of physical therapy, I have worked with thousands of people who had these same questions and fears. If you want to learn how to maintain your independence with mobility and avoid the nursing home like the plague, keep reading!
Falling at home can have serious consequences that reach into every aspect of your life. One of the main threats to your independence at home is having a fall.
Falls are the second leading cause of death in worldwide. The injuries people sustain after a fall can often be life changing and can lead to disability.
Every 11 Seconds, 1 in 4 adults over the age of 65 experience a fall requiring medical care, according to Medical Guardian.
646,000+
Deaths per year due to falls
37.4 Million +
Fall related injuries
requiring medical care
Age 65+
Age most at risk for
fall related deaths
If you haven't had a fall yourself, maybe your spouse, friend, or family member has. As we age, our bodies are more at risk of falling for a variety of reasons. If you are able to come successfully home from a fall and regain your indepenence to some extent, you are still at greater risk for a future fall. All the while, you may also be trying to manage and recover financially.
BUT - There IS hope!
The best way to fight falls is to prevent falls in the first place.
What if you could learn the time-tested strategies and for each room in your home to learn how to reduce your risk of falling, before a fall occurred?
What if you could spot some of the hidden dangers within your own body that may lead to a fall before it's too late?
That's where the Don't Fall online course comes in.

What's inside the course?
1
Module 1: Be aware of Your Surroundings
In this module, I will teach you the potential hazards and safety recommendations for each room of the house - with the exception of a basement. Here in Florida, if we had a basement, we'd be under water and we cannot film under water.
Each room of the house will be considered a "Chapter." We will cover the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, hallways, floors, stairs, and entry/exits. This module has 90 videos of teaching practical steps to take in order to reduce your fall risk.
2
Module 2: Be Aware of Your Body
In the second module, our attention will be turned to the body itself. Each chapter will cover essentials about how the human body moves in its environment. The human body can either be optimized for stability or it can be a teetering tower ready to fall down.
Some of the topics of the lessons include the 4 essential components of balance - strength, vision, sensation, and the inner ear vestibular system. We also will dive into additional topics such as some key energy conservation strategies, sleep strategies, and other strategies that help optimize and stabilize the body.

Module 3: Be Aware of Equipment Helps & Hazards
Within this last module, we will discuss possible equipment that may help you. Sometimes people may need a little bit of extra help to improve their balance at first. Other times, people may already be using assistive equipment that help them remain stable. The lessons will go over some of the most common recommended assistive devices such as walkers and canes.
You will also learn some of the potentially life-saving tips on how to safely use assistive devices that many people don't realize until it's too late. Devices are meant to help you, not harm you! There are correct and incorrect ways to use them. You must know how to properly use them in order to be safe.

I love Dr. Waller's teaching style
"I certainly enjoyed Dr. Waller's down-to-earth teaching style. His clear direction and step-by-step instruction is at a level that anyone can grasp, even me! It is more like a fireside chat than classroom instruction.
I now feel very well equipped to handle the challenges that lie ahead."

Potential Benefits for Taking Course
Potential Costs for Not Taking Course
Is your health worth it?
Every 11 seconds one out of every four adults has a fall requiring medical attention.
Who should NOT take this course?
In-person training can get expensive!
Average Physical Therapy Visit - $125 - 150+ / visit
Four to Six Therapy Visits - $600 - $1000+
This comprehensive online training course currently has over 4 hours of training.
This online course content is similar to that which is covered over many in person physical therapy sessions. This easily exceeds $600 - $1000+.
Another disadvantage of in-person training is that you must remember everything. You may not have the ability to recall all that was taught, and thus you may require additional follow up sessions.
Learning with an online course format however, allows you to pause, rewind, and re-watch the content over your lifetime. This reduces the need for follow-up sessions and the associated cost of the training.
Falls are more expensive!

I've grown up around physical therapy my whole life. My dad has been practicing for over 40 years. I first received my bachelors degree in Human Performance and went on to receive my doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. I have also taken extensive advanced vestibular (inner ear and balance stuff) training at Emory.
I began my career as a physical therapist in the hospital and then transitioned to an intensive rehabilitation hospital where my goal was to help my clients become as independent as possible to hopefully return safely home. I then transitioned to home health therapy where I am still practicing currently. I have been in practice for a decade.
My clients and fellow colleagues have affirmed my expertise being my ability to teach and distill difficult concepts to everyday understandable language. I also have expertise in the often overlooked complex vestibular (inner ear) balance system.
I consider myself blessed to be born and raised into beautiful sunny Florida. Physical therapy has always been a part of my family’s life. My dad, John, has been a physical therapist for over 40 years now. After a life-threatening bike accident that my dad had, my eyes were opened to the importance of physical therapy. My dad went from being a marathon runner to being bed-bound and then wheelchair bound. The doctors said he would never walk again. With the help of my mom, and the physical therapists who came to help him at the house, I was able to see firsthand how he improved. Eventually he began walking again with a walker and then a cane. Thankfully, he was able to get back to running and is still running marathons even today! After seeing that transformation, I decided to go volunteer at his clinic where he treated his clients. I fell in love with helping people.
Speaking of falling in love, I remember my knees getting weak and almost falling when I saw my wife for the first time! What you don’t yet realize, is my wife, Lauren, was also involved in a traumatic life-threatening car accident where she sustained a traumatic brain injury and a crushed pelvis. At the scene of the accident, she was incubated and life-flighted to the nearest trauma center. She was able to come out of the coma a little after 2 weeks and she then had to re-learn how to breathe, talk, stand up, and walk again. In addition to physical therapy, she also received occupational and speech therapy. With the Lord’s help, and her hard work through therapy, she was able to make a near almost full recovery. Needless to say, reducing fall risk is huge on my heart.
