Ever wondered how Pilates and movement can play a crucial role in preventing falls, especially for seniors? Prepare to have your curiosity quenched with this episode's special guest, Ed Yuiska, a retired physical therapist. Now, Ed spends his time teaching fall prevention at La Hacienda and is ready to spill the beans on his unique approach to health and wellness that actively engages the cerebellum for improved balance.
We turn the spotlight on the importance of movement, with insights into balance-enhancing exercises and the role of the cerebellum in maintaining poise. We also delve into the world of Pilates and its value for core and trunk strengthening. Bonus: Dr. Craig Curtis, another guest, shares valuable tips on nourishing the brain by regulating sugar and cholesterol intake. And don't worry, we've got your safety in our minds as we assure you that while falls can happen during classes, they're always without injury.
Finally, we touch on practical techniques to prevent falls and how to get back up safely, mainly crafted for older individuals. We've got you covered on managing vertigo and its effects on these balance practices. We also encourage regular balance testing with three tests to give a shot. Tune in to hear from our guest, Ed Williams, as he shares his experience with a small class exercise that encourages less sitting and more movement, promoting an active lifestyle. Remember, a healthier life is just a listen away!
