Functional Core and Balance Circuits for the Aging Adult WorkshopBalance in the real world is SO much more than we think! Our living environment is ever changing. Forces such as gravity, acceleration, deceleration and momentum are constantly pushing and pulling our center of mass in different directions as we move through space. Additionally, our senses play a key role in providing us with much needed biofeedback that we use to determine spacial orientation.
For the most transferable and useable functional balance training, exercises need to challenge the body in ways that simulate the forces and variability that life throws at us everyday. Additionally, we need to ignite the body and mind in the process by integrating senses like touch, vision and sound into the picture. This allows us to heighten awareness and develop a deeper understanding of what balance really is relative to our position in space.
In this session, we will introduce and explore new science-backed approaches to how we can truly help our aging population replace fear with confidence and live life stronger everyday.
