About this Event
We are offering two classes on Sunday, November 8th. Register here for Fall Specific Strength and Mobility ONLY.
If you want to take both classes for a discounted rate of $120 (instead of 2x$65/class), please sign up for the Take Both class also available on Eventbrite.
Join Us for Fall Specific Strength and Mobility
Though it is extremely important to longevity to maintain general strength and mobility as we age, it is even more important that we begin to target the specific muscle groups and joint areas that are key to preventing fall-related injuries. In this class, you will learn safe and effective strategies for building strength and increasing mobility to decrease our risk of falls and prevent injuries when a fall happens. In doing so, we gain a lot in terms of health, confidence and longevity.

FallRight Method
FallRight’s method is grounded in movement science, nervous system regulation, and how the body learns through experience.
We teach falling and recovery as trainable skills, using progressive drills that support balance, orientation, and calm response under disruption. Learning happens through repetition and sensory feedback, allowing the body to build reliable movement memory rather than relying on conscious instruction alone.
How we train
Workshops integrate three core elements that work together:
- Nervous system–aware pacing
Learning is supported without overwhelm, allowing participants to stay present, responsive, and adaptable. - Vestibular and balance training
Exercises improve spatial orientation, stability, and the body’s ability to detect and respond to imbalance. - Whole-body coordination and recovery drills
Specific movements strengthen awareness, timing, and the ability to interrupt a fall, meet the ground safely, and recover efficiently.
Why recovery matters
These elements improve how a person moves, adapts, and regains stability when balance is lost. Just as importantly, participants practice what happens after a fall: getting up safely, re-orienting, and continuing to move with confidence.
Through repeated, low-threat exposure to balance challenges, the nervous system adapts by improving sensory awareness, coordination, and response timing. This conditioning supports earlier detection of imbalance, more effective fall interruption, and safer ground contact when a fall does occur.
Improved recovery capacity reduces injury risk, limits secondary falls, and supports long-term confidence in movement.
What this approach supports
FallRight uses adaptive, evidence-informed movement training. Exercises are scaled to individual capacity and taught in calm conditions that support motor learning, reduce protective tension, and prepare the body for unexpected balance loss.
FallRight workshops don’t aim to eliminate falls.
They prepare the body to respond skillfully, fall as safely as possible, and recover well, which is what makes continued movement and independence possible.
