Hello Penelope, I am an instructor. I differently encourage you to become Fallproof Certified. Several participants in my classes see how this approach to exercise and fall prevention helps them.
Good Luck

has anybody recently taken this certification class. I am an RN and recently took on a job doing a Balance Movement and Falls Prevention Class at a local Senior Friendship Center. I have 40 years nursing experience in Geriatrics and Rehab but am interested in taking more classes r\t this subject without it running into a huge amount of money since I am semi retired and taking care of an elderly father as well. Would appreciate any info.
