WLAD continues fall prevention education series Western Lane Ambulance District (WLAD) is continuing it’s fall prevention education series, focusing on the preven- tion safety aspect of fall-type injuries. By the time WLAD para- medics arrive at the scene of a fall, the medical consequences for a patient can oftentimes be devastating. WLAD feels it’s prudent to attempt to prevent a fall from occurring at all, rather than responding with para- medic ambulances to treat and transport patients to local emergency departments. WLAD is partnering with Coastal Fitness in Florence to promote Fall Prevention Safety. Tracey Markley, Coastal Fitness’s personal strength and conditioning trainer, explains that in order to gain balance and stability for safety in everyday movement, one needs to strengthen the stability mus- cles of the core, hips and pelvis. This is vitally important because when the brain sends a message to the stabilizing mus- cles to stabilize the body; the message is received by strong functioning muscles. “In my 20 years of study and experience in the fitness indus- try I have found the best way to do this is to engage the right muscles properly, and chal- lenge the body with stability equipment, such as the balance disc and the BOSU ball with proper techniques,” Markley said. WLAD encourages all resi- dents in the Western Lane Ambulance District service area to look into safety pro- grams such as these in order to lessen their chances of a fall injuries. Local residents are urged to contact Western Lane Ambulance District or Coastal Fitness to inquire about upcoming programs and events in their Fall Prevention and Safety Education programs. “Being consistent with such programs at one’s fitness level will give the best benefits that last,” said Markley.
