CDC, Home and Recreational Safety 2.19.2014

Original SANDDUNE™ ‘s part in Fall Prevention resides in its capability to strengthen the body’s Core Muscles which are weak in many people, particularly elders who become sedentary through illness, lack of exercise, or injury. This also applies to Caregivers who often overlook their own fitness and wellness while assisting with caregiving for sedentary elders. 

“If you avoid physical activity because you are afraid it will make a fall more likely, tell your doctor. He or she may recommend a carefully monitored exercise program or refer you to a physical therapist. The physical therapist can create a custom program aimed at  improving your balance, flexibility, muscle strength, and gait.”   ~ MAYO CLINIC ~
