“FALL PREVENTION COURSE!!”

We DO CARE about our clients and WE DO CARE that they don’t fall (or can fall and get back up easily).

This is WHY the instructors at Balanced Bodies go the “extra mile” to further our knowledge in all things HUMAN. This weekend 3 of us will be taking a phenomenal “FALL PREVENTION” course from -performance to deepen our skills to help our clients.

DEEPENING OUR KNOWLEDGE…..that’s what keeps Balanced Bodies on TOP!!!!

Repost from 💥Fall Prevention and Fall Preparation Can Be LIFESAVING💥

🧠 There’s not a lot that needs to be said about this post. The statistics are available for every movement professional to see. While not all falls are serious, when they do happen, things can go very badly. And, it’s getting worse. According to the CDC fall death rates increased by 41% between 2012 and 2021 in the United States.

🧠 Usually we think of falls as a problem only for the elderly. However, across most age groups, falls are among the top 3 accidental causes of death around the world.

🧠 As movement professionals we believe that it’s absolutely critical to understand this topic deeply. This goes far beyond telling people to make sure that the rugs in their house don’t slide on the floor and to avoid clutter.

🧠 Fall prevention and fall preparation require assessments of vision, vestibular function, foot sensation, big toe strength, and dozens of other areas that CAN matter.

❓What are you currently doing to assess and train your clients to maintain and improve their balance? Let us know in the comments! 👇🏽

👏👏👏WHY ALL NEED PILATES!!!

Repost from 🌷As the world awakens from its winter slumber, there’s a collective desire to refresh, rejuvenate, and revitalize. Spring is not only a time to tidy up our homes but also an opportunity to cleanse our bodies and minds. ⁠
⁠
For Pilates teachers and enthusiasts, this season presents an ideal moment to integrate the principles of Pilates into our daily routines and embrace the concept of “spring cleaning” for our holistic well-being. ⁠
⁠
Just as we declutter our physical spaces during spring cleaning, Pilates allows us to declutter our bodies and minds, promoting a sense of harmony and vitality.⁠
⁠
How Pilates can complement your Spring Cleaning routine:⁠
🏡Core Strengthening⁠
🫷🏽Flexibility and Mobility⁠
🔌Mind-Body Connection⁠
😮‍💨Breathwork⁠
⁠
⁠
Tips for incorporating Pilates into Spring Cleaning:⁠
🧾Set Intentions⁠
🔍️Break It Down⁠
👂️Listen to Your Body⁠
💦Stay Hydrated and Rested⁠
⁠
As we embrace the spirit of spring cleaning, let us also embrace the principles of Pilates to nurture our bodies and minds. So, roll out your mat, take a deep breath, and embark on a journey of renewal and transformation with Pilates this Spring.⁠
