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.
