LEARN ABOUT FALLS PREVENTION AT REDONDO ORTHOPEDIC PHYSICAL THERAPY’S FREE “FIRST TUESDAYS: GET FIT; GET UP AND TRY!
Falls Are a Serious Health Risk For Older Americans and Can Lead to Serious Injury, Loss of Independent Living and Even Accidental Death
The majority of individuals will experience difficulty with balance as they grow older. Falls becomes a serious health risk for aging adults and are a major cause of injury leading to loss of independence and even death. In fact, it is the leading cause of injury and accidental death for adults 85 and older. There are ways to minimize this risk. Redondo Orthopedic Physical Therapy will focus its December “First Tuesdays; Get Fit; Get Up and Try!” presentation on falls prevention. Part of a series of ongoing monthly presentations dedicated to empowering the South Bay community to develop healthy habits that will prevent injuries and conditions impacting mobility, this Tuesday’s session will focus on how to recognize the increased risks of falls and the development of a home safety checklist.
The free and unique interactive presentation will consist of a “teach and try” approach where, following a short presentation on the topic, participants will break into small groups and sample various activities. The ultimate goal of this “learn by doing” approach is to make permanent changes that will create a strong and healthy body.

Big congrats to you Jeff. Please fill us in (Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and Marina Hotel and…Read More Visitors Bureau) on the hotel shuttle. Also, how do we get Riviera Village's newest hit, Rock N Brew to be called Redondo Beach vs. Torrance??

Jeff, I am so pleased that you will be representing the residents of District 1 for the next four…Read More years.

Congrats to the boys and girls baseball/softball teams, showing the Redondo strength of body and…Read More mind! Reading all sorts of good things about your teams! Great going players and coaches from the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and Marina Hotel staff!

And here I thought I needed to Drive to San Diego to experience craft breweries and bars. Nice job.

Mary, I read your posts throughout the Measure A campaign. You may want to re-read your posts when…Read More you cast stones about "dividing a city". There wasn't much substantiation to any of your posts-- mostly just attacks on Jim Light.
Do Aspel and Ginsburg condone this sort of behavior since you are such a strong voice for them?

Perhaps we should just turn our heads and let the City Council violate the law. Is that what you…Read More would do Mr H? The City Charter is the law of Redondo. The Council chose knowingly to violate it. When the judge found them in violation, the same Council doubled the costs with a frivolous appeal. This time three judges threw it out.
Had the Council followed the Charter, there would be zero costs. If you want to hold anyone accountable, it should be those who cast the vote to violate the City Charter and disenfranchise the voters of Redondo. You should not hold me and the over 200 residents who contributed to the lawsuit to uphold the City Charter responsible for the Council's illegal action.

We are still waiting for someone -- perhaps the author of this post -- to make a coherent,…Read More fact-based argument in favor of Mr. Diels.
With all due respect, conclusory hopes and dreams of "reform" will not get 'er done in the face of Mr. Diels' voting record as City Councilman.
Thankfully, one good thing has come of the author's blog post. The facts and blog posts have vindicated the honesty and integrity of the campaigns run by Dawn Esser and Chris Cagle, against a baseless attack by Mrs. Diels.
If I had a magic mand, I would wave it and change the City Charter so that Dawn and Chris could share the position of Treasurer.

Mr. Azouz:
Thank you. I am glad some neighbors find value in what I do, but more importantly I…Read More respect the fact that you take the time to do your own homework.
If you have expertise in a particular area that can benefit the City, feel free to contact me off line. That goes for anyone.
After the election, I have a "big idea" that I want to promote for our City. When Bill Brand and Steve Aspel both agree that my idea is promising, then I think we are on the right track. I'll be curious to learn what the City Manager has to say.

Correction - that's his email. Jimlightforcouncil.com is more fun! Although I'm sure he'd love to…Read More hear from you at either address!
