Description

CONFIDENT & MOBILE  IS AN ESSENTIAL RESOURCE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GAIN OR MAINTAIN THEIR ABILITY TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIFE WITH EASE; REDUCE THEIR RISK OF FALLS & MINIMISE THEIR RISK OF INJURIES.

• Are you losing confidence when you walk around?
• Are you using your arms more and more to get yourself out of your favourite arm chair?
• Are you finding yourself tripping on the edges of the rugs and mats you have placed in your house?
• Are you finding it difficult to walk up the stairs because the steps seem to be higher in height?
• Are you finding it difficult to walk down stairs without having to hold on to the hand rail?
• Do you find yourself feeling unstable and unsure of yourself when you turn around or move? 
• Have you tripped on something and not been able to right yourself and subsequently fallen?
• If you answered yes to more than one or two of these questions, then this book is for you.

The exercises and activities depicted in here help to train:

• your postural equilibrium (the alignment of your trunk and head with respect to gravity),
• your kinaesthetic awareness (your ability to know where your body parts are in relation to your surroundings), and
• your sensory awareness of movement (knowing what is necessary and what is not).

The activities in this book help to train your:

• visual system,
• somatosensory system (touch, pressure and stretch receptors in your skin, muscles and joints) and
• auditory system.

This should help build your confidence with moving around in your daily life, and being prepared for the unexpected.
