I teach a workshop that is worth 3-CEUs (continuing education units) for healthcare workers. My class is approved by the Department of Social Services (DSS), Board of Registered Nurses (BRN) and RCFE (Residential Care Facilities for Elderly) workers. There are millions of healthcare workers who deal with older adults. Many of these workers are not trained in fall prevention exercises not to mention aware of the intrinisic or extrinsic fall risk factors.
My 3-hour workshop is designed to educate workers about factors that increase the risk of falls and to demonstrate effective seated exercise routines that will help older adults remain strong, flexible and independent. However the exercises I demonstrate are not just for older adults; everyone benefits from consistent activity. The senior exercise videos that are included in the workshop price provide instructional cues to remember when flexing and stretching your body while seated.
Because I am a certified FallProof balance and mobility instructor, I am able to provide cutting edge, research-based techniques that challenge the body systems involved in balance, thereby promoting confidence and esteem of those who participate. I am available to hold this CEU-training workshop in your facility so contact me today so we can arrange a date and location.
And remember, Take 5 to Exercise each day!
