My mom fell a five weeks ago.
Everything has healed except her hand.
As people age the consequences of falls become more of a risk than medical complications.
Because when our ability to move is compromised - your health begins to suffer-period.
Specific example here: Mama still remember how to deadlift, and do quadruped hip cars, but cannot because of her hand.
She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and has trouble remembering anything that’s more than a step or two.
As a practitioner your decision making skills need to be able to look at the macro in order to decide the micro.
These things will target the specific tissues that were injured.
They are also something I can verbally instruct her to do over the phone on the days I’m not with her.
Simple, effective, and precise.
The last clip hits specific needs: exercise, practice of a skill(getting up and down off of the floor), time under tension of her whole body experiencing numerous articulations in the spaces that would simulate a fall, and it doesn’t compromise the injured area.
It’s not enough to know your anatomy, tissue adaptation timelines, how the systems work, and all the geeky s**t.
You have to know how to execute and prescribe in the ways that serve your human most.
I use the same framework with my own mom that I do with the people who pay me, the people who travel to see me, and professional fighters.
It doesn’t matter who it is- all humans must respect the same laws of adaptation.
