Get Up and Go Test

Rein Tideiksaar designed a mobility test for people to determine if they are at risk of falling (www.seekwellness.com). It was reported that people who need to use their hands to rise from a standard sitting position have DOUBLE the chance of falling than someone who is of similar age. He recommends this test:

1.    Get up (without the use of armrests)

2.    Stand still momentarily.

3.    Walk forward 10 feet.

4.    Turn around and walk back to the chair.

5.    Sit back down.

If there are any issues with these tasks, then you are at risk of falling. Protect yourself with ComfiHips®.

We do not want people to fall; but if they do, we are here to protect their hips. ComfiHips® is revolutionizing hip protection with its high impact absorption and affordability; around the clock hip protection…comfortably! Visit us at www.comfihips.com for more information.

Don't Fall, but IF YOU DO... ComfiHips® is here to Protect YOU!

It is estimated that 1 out of 3 Americans over the age of 65 will fall at least once per year. On his web site, Dr. Weil suggests 5 small steps to help prevent falling:

1.    Install safety devices.

2.    Eliminate scatter rugs and floor clutter.

3.    Recover or replace slippery floor surfaces.

4.    Always have a phone nearby in case you do fall.

5.    If you have a companion animal train it to stay away when you walk.

We don’t want you falling either, that is why each set of ComfiHips® includes 2 undergarments and 2 pads. This way when one undergarment becomes unclean, you have another one to easily slip your pads into. You are always being protected when the first undergarment is being laundered.  We also sell sets of just undergarments so you have extras for the rest of the week. Our sets also include a pamphlet on “Tips for Fall Prevention.”

Protect yourself, Be yourself, Live your life with ComfiHips®!

Prescription Please

Many of the medicines we take help us with one problem but can cause others. One of the more common side effects is feeling groggy or dizzy during the day or even when we wake up during the evening for those “nightly trips” to the bathroom. This can cause a fall and possible hip fracture.

We recommend that people with these side effects wear the newest generation of hip protectors: ComfiHips®. They are made to be discretely worn during the day under your clothing and even at night while you sleep. If you fall, we want you to be able to say, “I've fallen, but I CAN get up”. ComfiHips® helps to make that possible. Visit our web site at www.comfihips.com or call toll free: 1-877-857-1110.

Balance and Stability

           As we age we forget that we need to keep ourselves in good physical condition. Have you tried to stand on one leg for 30 seconds? It is more difficult than it seems. Lack of balance is one of the major causes of falls. Always work on keeping yourself strong and balanced and protect your hips with a hip protector in case you fall.  Why not use the newest technology....ComfiHips®!
