Falls change lives — but most can be prevented.

 

In this clear, down-to-earth guide, senior author Tom Ranseen shares practical advice, personal experience, and a touch of humor to help older adults stay steadier, safer, and more confident.

​

This book is not a clinical textbook — it’s written by someone who has faced balance problems himself and understands what seniors really need: plain English, realistic solutions, and encouragement.

​

Inside the book, you’ll learn:

• Why balance problems sneak up with age

• Simple steps you can take today to reduce fall risk

• Specific situations where seniors are most vulnerable

• Balance exercises explained clearly and simply

• How to react after a stumble or near-fall

• When professional help makes sense — and when it doesn’t

• How to rebuild confidence, not just balance

A note from the author

“If this book helps even one senior avoid a fall and keep living independently, it will have been worth writing.”
