After A Fall

After a fall it is important to talk to your doctor about your experience and the possible causes. Also, tell your family, a friend or neighbour that you have had a fall. Once you have recovered, it will be useful to reflect on the incident and identify the reasons or contributing factors that resulted in your fall. Then, take positive steps to minimise your risk of a further fall or injury.
