Walking Tall: 4 Habits That Can Trip You Up”
We like to think falls are something that happens to other people—clumsy neighbors, distracted grandkids, anyone but us. But the truth is, one wrong step can change everything. At our age, a tumble isn’t just a bruise; it can sideline us from the activities, independence, and freedom we love.
The good news? Many falls aren’t “bad luck” at all—they’re the result of little walking habits we don’t even realize we’ve picked up. The even better news? They’re fixable. Dr. Weiss points out four of the most common mistakes (yes, even the “surely nobody does that” ones), and once you know them, you’ll be that much closer to walking confidently and safely wherever life takes you.
