As a physician, Dr. Donna Baldwin spends a lot of time thinking about how to help her patients live safer, more confident lives. And one of the things she's learned is that there's a lot of misinformation out there about balance and falls. Let's get the record straight on the 3 biggest balance and fall myths - and share what the science actually says.
3 myths we'll bust together
- Myth: If you're strong and active, your balance is fine.
-
Myth: Falls are just part of getting older - they can't be prevented.
- Myth: If you haven't fallen yet, you don't need to worry about your balance.
