INQUIRY 🧐

Are you ready to take control of your life and bid farewell to the fear of falling?

BEST PART? It only takes a few minutes each day.

New Research from Harvard University and The National Library of Medicine Proves You Can Boost Your Balance & Bulletproof Your Body from Devastating Falls with specific exercises.

Each year, approximately 684,000 people die from falls, and over 37 million falls are severe enough to require medical attention.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that falls are currently the 2nd leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide.

Tripping and falling is inevitable at times. There will always be uneven pavement, unseen obstacles, stray cord, or children running underfoot. There may be times that a medication makes you unsteady or general fatigue has you dragging your feet.

The difference is how your body responds to small stumbles. This can be the difference between a minor slip, where you slightly stumble and continuing on with your day. Or a dangerous fall that lands you in a hospital bed... or even worse ... your deathbed.

Facts About Falling are STAGGERING.

The risk for older adults simply cannot be ignored.

According to “WHO”, data surrounding the dangers of Seniors falling is bleak.

• New York Times report that 1 in 3 seniors will fall this year

• Research from University of Toronto shows that 2 out of 5 Seniors with fractured hips will die within 6 months of their injury.

• The “Centre for Disease Control and Prevention” (CDC), predicts 3 million older Americans will visit the E.R. for a fall this year; 300,000 of those will break their hip.

• CBS News reports that each year 29 million Americans fall, and the older adult falls are increasing and, sadly causing the end of independence. And it’s getting worse.

Why Do People Fall?

According to the CDC falls are more likely to happen when:

• Vision problems

• Vitamin D deficiencies

• Use of different medications; prescription and 'over the counter' medications

• Foot pain

• Issues with walking or balance

• Potential hazards in the home; IE. throw rugs, loose or uneven steps, unseen objects on the floor, etc.

• Hazards outside the home. IE. icy or slippery surfaces, uneven pavement, crowded areas, unseen obstacles, etc.

BUT ...

The real reason people fall ISN'T a crack in the sidewalk, a child's toy in the middle of the floor, or that careless pedestrian bumping into you in crowd. The real reason you are at risk ISN'T because you are careless, not paying attention, or distracted.

The REAL REASON you are at risk is your body's inability to correct itself and properly react to unforeseen situations that challenge your balance.

TRUTH:

There will ALWAYS be cracks in the sidewalk, uneven pavement, toys, throw rugs, staircases; thoughtless people bumping into you in crowds, stores, or walking down the street; and times when your mind wanders and you aren’t 100% focused on your path.

TRUTH:

** You are human and live in the real world. It’s impossible to eliminate all of these potential threats from your day-to-day life.

** Many of the reasons people fall are UNAVOIDABLE, especially for older adults!

If the risk of falling is always there, how can you protect yourself … Make Your Body Fall-Proof!

KEY:

Making your body fall-proof is a specialized form of therapeutic exercises designed to boost balance, increase stability, and protect safety. Challenge your sensory system to ‘train your brain’ to react quickly when your balance is challenged.

The sensory system detects when a person is losing balance. This includes receptors in muscles and joints that sense motion and pressure sensors in the soles of the feet. All those sensory elements have to work properly for the brain to detect a loss of balance. And when it does, it must process that information quickly to tell the muscles to stabilize the body by taking a step or grabbing an object for support.

HOW?

The key to making your body fall-proof is strengthening specific muscles that are responsible for keeping you on your feet, while simultaneously loosening the specific joints that improve your mobility.

If you’re not doing the correct exercises in the correct order - nothing else matters, you will still be at risk.

The Gentle Yoga Series incorporates therapeutic yoga techniques to gently strengthen muscles, stabilize joints, increase flexibility, and protects you from future falls.
