Silver Spring, Maryland (PRWEB) September 30, 2015 -- September is Fall Prevention Month, a time when awareness is heightened, of the risk and prevention of falls, especially in the senior population. As a pioneer in the aging care industry, Family & Nursing Care is offering a unique therapeutic massage program designed specifically to help decrease falls in older populations. According to a 2012 study by the International Journal of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork* therapeutic massage, given for 1 hour each week for 6 weeks, resulted in immediate and long-term improvements in balance and stability.

While there are many places to get a massage, only Family & Nursing Care has a program specifically dedicated to fall prevention. A therapeutic massage with Family & Nursing Care can be customized specifically to relieve pain, including pain from arthritis, improve circulation, increase range of motion, help muscle imbalance, and enhance gait and movement confidence, all of which can help reduce the risk of falls.

Family owned and operated as the most trusted resource for in-home care services since 1968, Family & Nursing Care is also the nation’s expert in Therapeutic Massage for older adults. “We revolutionized home care for aging adults almost 50 years ago, and we’ve never stopped looking for ways to help you and your loved ones get the most out of life.” says Family & Nursing Care Founder, Sandy Kursban.
