Segment 1: Each year more than one-third of Americans age 65 and older suffer from falls. In fact, falling is the leading cause of injury-related death in seniors. To lower central Ohio seniors' chances of accidental injury or death from falls, Riverside Methodist Hospital's Gerlach Center for Senior Health, with therapy provider Robinson-Brown & Associates, created The Balance and Mobility Clinic of Columbus. In this segment, Director Riley sits down with Dr. Sheila Faryman and physical therapist Kristin Beadle to discuss the value of balance and flexibility training.

Segment 2: In this segment, Director Riley joins Faryman and Beadle at The Balance and Mobility Clinic to learn about how they conduct a comprehensive balance and mobility assessment.
