Working with the older population ages 70-90 years. New ideas?
Hello Donna Teed,
What I have found is that the older population has a difficult time speaking up and describing things properly.
If you can get them to open up about how the moves are affecting them instead of blindly trusting the trainer, you will be able to do a better job.
Getting them to tell me what body part is affected is mislabeled, also.
So…define “hurt” and “feel” and have them point to the body part in question.
Now that they trust you, they will open up and give you ideas if you discuss ADLs before and after class.
Take care,
Natalie
