We had the first Fall Prevention Class at Community Presbyterian Church today! The goal of the class is to improve and maintain balance.

The feedback was positive and someone shared that the exercises that we did are the exercises that she's doing in physical therapy to improve her balance.

Doing this class at church has been in my heart for quite some time so seeing it come to fruition has been rewarding. Thank you Community Presbyterian Church for making this class a reality.❤️🙏🏽❤️

Lifting your straightened leg and holding it up for a few seconds is a great way to improve and maintain balance, as well as build core strength, just to name two benefits.

If you're seated for an extended period, try doing this exercise to get the blood flowing, as you practice your balance.

Practice at your own pace. I am barefoot, but you may wish to wear comfortable footwear. I am also lifting my entire foot, but you can just lift your heel.

Lifting one foot and twisting engages and strengthens several muscles, including your core, glutes, and hips. Strengthening those muscles will help to improve your balance. Practice at your own pace. I am barefoot, but you may wish to wear comfortable footwear. I am also lifting my entire foot, but you can just lift your heel.

Please share with friends and family, especially with those who are seniors, as that demographic is most affected by falls and diminished balance.

Beginning next Tuesday, I will be offering Fall Prevention classes. In most of my classes, I try to integrate balance work because I know several people who have been affected by falls. Balance will be the focus of these classes.

I’ve had legal clients who have fallen or who have lost a spouse to a fall. I had a client who passed away because he kept falling. His wife repeatedly said that she knew and loved her husband for nearly 70 years, and she didn’t know what she would do without him. I will always remember the deep sadness in her voice and face when she said this to me.

Recently, a dear and sweet woman from my church passed away, which was precipitated by falls. She was such a vivacious woman so it was sad to see her decline.

My goal for these classes is to help people to improve and maintain their balance, so there are less stories of people losing their loved ones.
