Millions of People Are Misusing Their Walkers and Canes, Harming Themselves
Join us for a live and interactive discussion with a holistic health practitioner and certified massage therapist, who has seen the damage seniors can experience from relying on canes and walkers that have not been properly adjusted.
Featuring Linda Mac Dougall, Author and Advocate
As a holistic health practitioner and certified massage therapist, Linda Mac Dougall has seen the damage seniors can experience from relying on canes and walkers that have not been properly adjusted for them. Contrary to what many people believe, canes, walkers and other mobility devices are not "one size fits all" and while they are important for preventing falls and helping the disabled get around, they should not be doing them harm.
The 72-year-old Mac Dougall says, "I want things to change. Seniors don't have to get so sick and die. We can live long and healthy lives. It is a waste of human potential and costs individuals and this country way too much in so many ways to keep doing what we are doing. Health is life's bottom line."
