Preventing Falls: Moving with Balance, Awareness, and Intention

September is “Fall Prevention Month”

In this Feeling Fit workshop, Frank Hanley will discuss Fall Prevention and explore two themes:

• Stepping – We will look at how deliberate, well-placed steps can improve stability, reduce risk, and make movement safer, even for those with limited mobility.
• Mindfulness – This is about noticing the floor beneath you, the lighting around you, and any obstacles in your path—while staying mentally present in each movement.

Frank will present a Tai Chi practice as a practical, low-impact approach that blends these two themes. Using slow, deliberate motions to train both the body and the mind to work together… to improve balance, boost confidence, and reduce the likelihood of falls.

Frank Hanley is a martial artist, author, and teacher of Taijiquan (tai chi), kung fu and multiple Qigong styles and practices. Frank hosts the “Feeling Fit” program and shares his exercises with others to help them fight back against the effects of FSHD. He organized and launched the FSHD Society South Carolina Chapter and served as Chapter Director.
