Limiting beliefs can affect us at any age.This morning, we kicked off another safe fall course. Before the class started, an older couple approached me, concerned about their ability to participate, particularly their fear of sitting on the ground.Another participant arrived, using a walking cane and wearing an oxygen mask, keen to join as well. However, I informed her that sitting on the mattress was necessary for participation, which proved too challenging, so she left.I taught the couple how to sit on the mattress, and as the class progressed, they surprised me by getting up without assistance and leaving the room.This experience left me pondering. I wish the lady with the oxygen mask could have managed to sit on the floor, with her determination I bet I could have created a real improvement towards better quality of life.#OvercomingLimits #SupportiveEnvironment #seniorfall #fallprevention

This morning at the YFC in-person training, I witnessed a remarkable display of flexibility by a student in her 80s. Despite initial hesitations, her flawless execution of the side fall prompted me to ask her to demonstrate to the class. Acknowledging her superior performance, I confessed that even I couldn't match her. She reacted with disbelief and asked about the difference between previous feedbacks given by previous instructors and mine. I explained my focus on the body's fluidity over isolated movements. As expected, her demonstration provided the class with a better insight into the knee movement while falling safely.

It's crucial to recognize the effectiveness of the safe fall technique, but what about fall prevention methods? Older adults may not always realize the danger they narrowly avoid when they prevent a fall. During a recent training session, a participant shared how she almost tripped over a rough sidewalk but managed to lift her foot in time to prevent a fall. This incident sparked a debate on whether it was due to the "walking without dragging your feet" technique or another factor.#fallprevention #learntofall #olderadults #seniorfall
