When a person experiences a fall, it can create anxiety about doing activities because the individual might worry about falling again. This fear of falling can result in increased caution and decreased activity, both of which can actually increase the likelihood of another fall. This guided imagery relaxation for overcoming fear of falling focuses on reducing feelings of nervousness to decrease concerns about falling. It includes calm breathing, muscle relaxation, and calming self-talk to increase confidence and help you get back to being active.
