Online Classes
Online Group Fall Prevention Classes:
All classes are 45 minutes each, which include a 15 minute education session, covering a different topic related to fall prevention, and a 30 minute exercise session, including focus on mobility, flexibility, strength, balance, endurance, and coordination.
Each class will meet two times per week for 12-weeks
2 types of classes are offered: Low-Fall Risk and Medium-Fall Risk. Having separate classes allows for a more tailored class suitable for your current activity level. If after submitting the form below, and you land in the High-Fall Risk category, you may be able to participate in the Medium-Fall Risk class with extra modifications for your safety. Please contact Jocelyn for further details.
Open to anyone with an internet connection who is deemed safe to participate in an online exercise program by the Falls Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT), which can be accessed in the links below. The FRAT will be utilized prior to signing up for classes to determine which class best fits your needs.
New class dates will be announced soon!
Class Structure:
Each class is live and led by Jocelyn Clingman, Doctor of Physical Therapy.
Zoom links will be emailed to clients prior to each class.
The Zoom classes will be recorded and emailed to clients after each class so you can review the education material and master the exercises over the next few days on your own time in preparation for the following class.
Once clients complete the Medium-Fall Risk class, you are encouraged to continue into the Low-Fall Risk class to continue improvement.
When the Low-Fall Risk class is complete, you may continue to sign up for the next group of classes for continued improvement. You are also highly encouraged to participate in activities they enjoy throughout the week to keep you as active as possible.
