Fall Prevention - 20 Minute Workshop - Registration
September is Fall Prevention Month. Register here for my Fall Prevention Workshop.
Fall Prevention Workshop ... Why?
Five Major Reasons to Practice and Exercise for Fall Prevention:
1. Improved Balance and Coordination: Regular exercise strengthens muscles and enhances coordination, reducing the likelihood of losing balance and falling.
2 Reduce the fear of falling, Increased Confidence and Mobility: Practicing fall prevention exercises boosts confidence in movement, providing encouragement to stay active and reducing fear of falling, which can lead to reduced activity and higher fall risk.
3. Increased Muscle Strength: Stronger muscles, particularly in the legs and core, provide better support for the body, helping seniors maintain stability during daily activities.
4. Better Reaction Time: Exercises that improve reflexes and proprioception help seniors react more quickly to prevent a fall when they trip or stumble.
5. Enhanced Bone Health: Weight-bearing and resistance exercises improve bone density, reducing the risk of fractures if a fall occurs.
