Can You Guess the Second Leading Cause of Accidental Death Worldwide?
Falls.
Yep, it’s not sharks, lightning, or stepping on LEGOs barefoot. It’s falls—and they can change your life in an instant.
As a PT, I’ve seen how falls can:
- Lead to an early death
- Steal your independence
- Rob you of your dignity
- Drain your savings
- Land you in the hospital, nursing home, or on a long, exhausting road to recovery
Because most falls occur in your home, I wrote Don’t Fall! 101 Ways to Reduce Your Fall Risk at Home—a practical, laugh-along-the-way guide to staying upright, independent, and living life on your terms.
Those over the age of 65 are at most risk of a fall. And because I love you too much to let you faceplant your way into a hospital bed, I also put together my free webinar: 3 Secrets to a Fall Proof Life. (You’ll this again because it’s just that good.)
Because, what if you could learn how to prevent falls before they occur?
What’s Inside Don’t Fall!
Section 1 Environmental Hazards
From slippery bathroom tiles to sneaky throw rugs, your home can be a fall obstacle course. This section teaches you how to spot (and fix) the hidden dangers in every room—bedroom, kitchen, living room, stairs, even your entryways.
Section 2 Personal Hazards
Balance isn’t just about not wobbling—it’s about knowing your body and how it moves. In this section, I break down what really controls your balance (no, it’s not magic) and give you strategies to improve it. You’ll also learn safe ways to do everyday tasks like standing up, transferring, and moving around without risking a tumble.
And guess what? My Fall Proof Life webinar digs even deeper into these strategies so you can practice them right away.
Section 3 Equipment Hazards & Helps
Canes, walkers, rollators—oh my. The right tool can save you, but the wrong use can send you flying. This section explains how to use mobility aids safely (and with confidence) so they help instead of hurt.
Why I Wrote Don’t Fall!
Over the years, I’ve treated too many people after a fall. Broken hips, head injuries, long hospital stays—you name it, I’ve seen it. Some bounce back, others don’t. And every time, I think: “If only we could’ve prevented this.”
The good news? Many falls can be prevented with simple strategies. That’s the mission behind my book and my free training, 3 Secrets to a Fall Proof Life. Between the two, you’ll have the tools you need to keep moving better, safer, and stronger.
Throughout this book, I draw from over a decade of personal experience teaching people how to reduce their fall risk. I’ve also had the privilege of consulting with other expert therapists including my father who currently has over 40 years of experience teaching people how to reduce their fall risk and improve their mobility.
