All women are invited to attend Savvy Women Exchanging Relevant Views to hear Island Physical Therapist Linne Stringer discuss the external and internal factors that control our balance at the next SWERV meeting at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 12 at Filipino American Hall.

Stringer will talk on “Aging, Balance and Fall Prevention – The Why, How and What can I do about it?”

She’ll cover how we can reduce the risk of falling and, if we do fall, how we can stay safe and how we can get up safely.

After working all around the world helping patients with differing needs, she has worked for more than 20 years on the island, including as one of the few specialists in post-cancer surgery lymphedema.
