Fall Prevention Tips:
- If you are on a slippery surface, keep your knees bent and take short strides. The lower your centre of gravity the better.
- Connect with your feet by using therapy balls/tennis balls to stimulate the proprioceptors on the bottoms of your feet. The more stimulated, the better connected your feet are to the ground.
- Work on improving balance and strength in your legs (there are a variety of different exercises we can give you!)
- If you are walking, stay focused on each step you take. When the mind wanders, this can be distracting for the body.
- Walk around in socks or bare feet at home as much as you can. Wearing thick soled shoes does not allow your feet to connect to the ground so your nervous system has no stimulation work with. We need to FEEL our feet so we know where they are! The better body awareness we have, the more control we have of our movements.

Join us at our upcoming workshop to learn more:
