Falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians. About 20-30% of seniors experience one or more falls each year and 50% of falls resulting in hospitalization happen at home. Prevent falls by: 1) Wearing proper footwear – socks or slippers can be slippery. 2) Removing cords and floor mats, and watching out for pets. 3) Taking your time rising from a chair to avoid light-headedness. 4) Considering a cordless phone so that you do not have to rush to answer. 5) Keeping fit! Improving strength, flexibility, and balance is critical. Physiotherapy can help keep you on your feet.

The first step in performing pelvic floor muscle exercises for men is to identify the correct muscles. Two ways to do this are: 1) When you go to the toilet, try to stop or slow the flow of urine midway. 2) Stand in front of a mirror (with no clothes on) and tighten your pelvic floor muscles. You should see the base of the penis draw in and the scrotum lift. The back passage will tighten too, but it is not the focus of this exercise. When you relax your muscles, you should have a sensation of “letting go”.
