Kaiser Permanente is funding the fall risk reduction program that the City of Sacramento's 50+ wellness program is presenting to Sacramento residents. I am the featured presenter! The focus of these workshops is to increase awareness of risk factors and to teach participants basic exercise techniques that will keep them strong and independent.
The first workshop was at the Oak Park community center and there were 23 participants. How exciting that people understand the need for preventative action. Unlike most workshops, my Stand Up to Falls presentation offers the knowledge and the skills people need to remain free from falls. I demonstrate balance techniques, strengthening exercises, stretching movements and get participants marching for endurance. Hey, a person can march while seated so no excuses....everyone can get involved!
The workshop was a success and I look forward to helping residents throughout the Sacramento region reduce their risk of a fall in any way shape or form that I am able. For the schedule of remaining workshops, click here. Hey, please attend one of these workshops, they're free.
The Fall Prevention Lady.
