The first Sacramento-based FallProof™ session started at Parkside Community Church in South Sacramento. I am offering the evidence-based fall risk reduction program in 4-week segments; beginner, intermediate, and advanced. FallProof™ is a progressively challenging program that builds on skills learned the first day of class. Therefore, enrollment is closed to new participants after the second class.
There are 17 participants in this first community-based FallProof™ session and their ages range from 58 to 91 years old! Two people use a walker and one uses a cane as an assistive device for mobility. Despite these limitations, they are participating in the gait pattern variation enhancement training segment and I am so excited to see them engaged in activity the entire class period.
This is the first of many FallProof™ classes that I plan on offering to local communities. If you want to participate in one of the top fall prevention exercise programs in the United States, sign up at one of the following locations:
