Course Description: Fall is by far the most common cause of injury in the elderly population. It is the leading cause of injury-related deaths and injury-related hospitalizations in the elderly population. Fall is, however, preventable. There is compelling research evidence that Tai Chi is effective in improving health, postural control and balance.

Based on compelling evidence, informed by exercise science and guided by exercise prescription principles and safety guidelines, the Tai Chi for Health and Fall Prevention Program (Beginner Level) is a safe and targeted evidence translation program for improving health and preventing fall in healthcare, community and residential settings. It is designed to increase the strength of lower limb muscles and knee and ankle extensors; expand motion range; improve mobility, toe clearance, dynamic balance and postural control; improve proprioception; overcome the fear of falling; and improve overall health and the quality of life.

The course involves step by step teaching and practice of the program, research evidence and exercise science underpinning the program and teaching and practice guidelines. It is easy to learn and practice by allied healthcare practitioners.

Course Description: Designed for rehabilitation and fitness professionals who want to elevate their skill set in the management of older adults. The size of this population is growing rapidly, unfortunately the desire to manage them with cutting edge evidence guided treatment has lagged well behind. Too often we see our older adults getting under treated, both with exercise and manual therapy, apparently as a consequence of both fear and ignorance. Take a deep dive into exploring myths and misconceptions of aging while laying out a clear current best evidence pathway to enable our older adults to to only survive but to thrive. A special emphasis is placed on progressive functional fitness in this population to stave off functional decline.
