As we get older, getting up off the floor can become difficult. If you fall and are unable to get up, you may not be able to call for help. The exercises we do in class will help with balance for falls prevention and to maintain your strength and mobility to help you get up.
In a study, the most common way participants used to get up was the ‘side-sit to half-kneel pivot’. The exercise to practice this is the ‘Modified DNS core exercise’ (DNS stands for Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization).
This exercise is recommended by Tom Michaud, DC and described in detail at https://www.humanlocomotion.com/ive-fallen-and-i-can-get-up-the-ideal-way-to-perform-floor-to-stand-transitions.
