Okay, so let’s address this head on: No one wants to fall. But falls do happen. Especially for people who have trouble with their balance. So wouldn’t it be great if when someone did fall, they knew how to roll or land in a way that minimized injury? That’s what we’re talking about today with physiotherapist Naomi Casiro of NeuroFit BC. She runs one on one and group therapy sessions for people with PD teaching them the fundamentals of controlling their movement and momentum in order to minimize risk.
In the show we’ll address:
The actual format and progression of classes/sessions focused on fall training
The method Naomi uses to hone in on what type of falling to treat
What the MOST important factor is when teaching someone how to fall well
What the contraindications are for this type of training
What equipment is needed and how to get started
How to get your clients on board to try this training with you
