Fast Tests for Predicting Fall Risk in Older Adults

Falls are a problem. A big problem. According to the latest estimates, 1 in 4 Americans over the age of 65 will fall this year because of their age alone. The likelihood increases to 1 in 3 when that person turns 80. When we start to add in other risk factors like medications, use of a cane or walker, or just a fear of falling it becomes more likely than not that the older adult we care for will fall. Our list doesn’t even consider the top predictor of falls in the senior population: a previous fall. That’s right! A previous fall more than doubles the risk that our loved one will fall again.

Preventing Back Injury in Caregivers: How to Help Getting Out of a Chair

Did you know that the best estimates say back injuries may account for up to 40% of all missed workdays in the US yearly? With an average of 7.2 days lost per injury, this can cause not only back pain, but financial pain due to lost work, headaches from having to deal with insurance adjusters, and the worry we all have about the clients we’re not able to see. On top of that, the #1 predictor of a future episode of back pain: a previous episode of back pain. That’s right! If you’ve had it before, you are much more likely to have it again.

David Reed really cares about his patients and their success. He explains the process and methodically puts the plan into practice. He has been working on my shoulder pain and so far I have less pain and have gained more functionality. He is both professional and personable. I would highly recommend David Reed to anyone in need of physical therapy.

My husband has been seeing Dave and the team at Origin Rehabilitation for about a year and a half and they have helped him with his issues a lot. We have also attended a couple of the seminars they held and were impressed with the knowledge we gained. To top it off, Dave and his team are really nice people. Highly recommend!!!

As a massage therapist, I am always looking to refer out to another professional if I see my client has additional needs. I've referred several clients to Dave. One of which can now stand outside and do yardwork because Dave has helped with strength and balance. Another client he helped just by doing a followup call with her after an initial consult.I trust Dave and will continue to refer clients to him, knowing he'll help my clients by advancing their mobility and balance and helping them live the quality of life they deserve.

Origin Rehabilitation is amazing! Wanting to find a local PT for my aggravated back I found Dave @Origin Rehabilitation. Not only was I able to speak to him directly when I called, I was able to see him that day. Dave took the time to do a thorough evaluation prior to his diagnosis and then walked me through every process of his treatment. I left Origin Rehabilitation feeling stronger physically and in knowledge as to how to prevent further injury. Thank you Dave!

I originally went to my doctor to determine the source of a pain I had in my lower right back for several months. He took x-rays and referred me to a chiropractor that was to put my dislocated rib back in place. This chiropractor examined the x-ray and decided I should come back next week after an expert examined the x-ray. Before I left, he had me go through several of his services, not including putting my rib back into place. I came back the following week and he explained something completely different that would take 3 weeks of sessions to fix other issues that did not pertain to my issue. Needless to say, that chiropractor will not be taking advantage of my insurance again! I contacted Origin rehabilitation and set up an appointment for the next day. Dave examined my issue and without even looking at the x-rays, was able to determine the rib that was displaced and put it back in it's place! A simple visit to the right person will make your life so much better. Unfortunately I had to deal with pain for over 4 weeks before I figured out the right person on my own. Also, the cost was easily affordable!

It is rare when you find a company that not only provides the service you are looking for but also has knowledgeable, kind and compassionate employees. If you are looking for a Physical Therapist there is no need to look further. My 80 year old mother fell and broke her femur and was not able to weight bare for 8 weeks. My mother lives in an assisted living. To live in an Assisted Living facility you have to be able to stand, pivot to chair or wheelchair and be steady on your feet. We needed a physical therapist that would provide in-home Pt to help my mother meet these requirements in order to go back home. Katrina, my mothers Physical Therapist was amazing! She really listened to what our goals of care were and worked toward them. Not once did we feel that we were wasting our money. In addition to being knowledgeable Katrina showed my mother great kindness and respect during her time with her. I am a Nurse Practitioner and really appreciate someone who is Knowledgeable and compassionate!
