FOOSH

✨What the FOOSH?!✨ What is a FOOSH you ask? A FOOSH is basically the body’s last resort to protect itself when you fall forward and stands for: Fall On Out Stretched Hand A FOOSH can be extremely dangerous for someone of any age (tripping while running, walking etc.) due the extreme force transmitted to your upper extremities during the fall. This force through the wrists, elbows and shoulders can result in broken bones that can involve long recovery processes and can drastically limit everyday activities. Luckily the severity of a FOOSH can be counteracted by working on balance including reaction time and weight shifting to avoid dramatic falls in one direction. #fallprevention #balance #vestibularrehab #mobility #physicaltherapy
