STAND Tall Don't Fall



Here is a fun video for the Stand Tall Don't Fall pilot program I am doing with Eskaton and Dignity Health in Carmichael, California.

The people featured in this video were the members of the first six (6)-week FallProof™ balance and mobility training class of the program.  Everyone in the class improved in at least two of the fitness parameters associated with fall risk.

The oldest class member was 96-year old gentleman in green and the youngest was 69-year old assistant. I am the short-haired tall thin lady in orange!

FallProof™ is a multi-sensory balance training program proven to reduce fall risk and improve balance confidence.  Designed by Dr. Debra Rose, Director of the Center for Successful Aging in Fullerton, FallProof™ was designed for independent older adults who have been identified as moderate to high fall risk.

Have fun, meet new friends, challenge your balance and prevent a fall!
