Spring Greetings to our Members!
Fall Prevention at SeekWellness
It is now estimated that over twenty million baby boomers
are taking care of one or both of their elderly parents. At
SeekWellness, we recognize that many of our members are in
this category so we are adding new content and products that
might be helpful to you.
Our
newest center on Fall Prevention
is directed by Rein
Tideiksaar, PhD and is full of practical ideas about preventing
falls at home and in institutions. Dr. Rein has included worksheets
to help you evaluate fall risk in rooms where older people
live and move around. He's also provided practical tips on
reducing injuries and rehabilitation after a fall occurs.
Although
most falls produce no injury, between 5-10 percent of elders
who fall each year sustain such serious injuries as fracture,
head trauma, or serious laceration. Approximately 15 percent
of elders who fall and injure themselves require hospitalization.
Hip fractures are the most serious fall-related injury (95
percent of hip fractures are due to falls). Of the estimated
1 percent of elders who fall and sustain a hip fracture, 20-30
percent die within one year of the fracture. As many as two
thirds of elders with hip fracture never regain their pre-fracture
activity status and one-third require nursing home placement.
Dr. Rein
is making every effort to educate all of us about the best
preventive and other measures we can take to keep our elders
safe. In the long run, the more we do to prevent falls, the
easier life is for us and our aging parents. Take a look at
our first group of fall
and injury prevention devices that we are offering for
sale on SeekWellness. Dr. Rein is available by live chat on
the above page to answer your questions about which product
might be right for your situation.
Male
Incontinence
The inability to control urine is one of the most unpleasant
and distressing problems from which a person can suffer, often
causing isolation, depression and physiological problems.
Men's anatomy poses particular problems for control systems
but we have managed to find several innovative products to
help solve them. The newest product we carry is the ActiCuf™
disposable pouch.
 The
breakthrough ActiCuf™
is a disposable, undetectable pouch designed to help men manage
light to moderate urinary incontinence. When placed on the
penis, the padded closure gently presses down on the urethra
to control urinary flow. Any leakage is immediately asborbed
by the ActiCuf™
so you can take charge of your day. The ActiCuf™
disposable pouch is so discreet that it's virtually undetectable
under clothing. It's sleek portable design makes using public
urinals a worry-free experience. Removing it and replacing
it is fast and easy. Take a look and see if it might work
for you. ActiCuf is a trademark of GT Urological, LLC.
Incontinence
Underwear Buying Guide
SeekWellness carries four brands of incontinence underwear
in washable and disposable styles. We even
carry high fashion underwear - who
says that incontinence underwear has to look like it? With
this many choices, you can get pretty confused so we've developed
an Underwear Buying Guide
to help you narrow your choices and find the type that's best
for you. You might want to try a couple of types to see which
is most comfortable and provides the best protection for you.
Don't
forget to use your bonus dollars! And remember that you earn
more bonus dollars on every order you place.
