A huge welcome to @Elena Maren !!!! We are super happy to have you here!!!! 👏🏼😊 Elena runs a wonderful community called Inflameless Living. If you haven't done so yet, I totally recommend you to go check it out! Lots of knowledge and valuable information and one of the most active communities I've seen here in Skool along with the community of @Stephen Mooney , The Hard Way Fitness. Without a doubt, these are the 2 communities I spend most of my time in Skool! Elena, whenever you have some time feel free to introduce yourself and, of course, let us know in more detail about your community if you feel like it. We would love to get to know you as well as what do you! The community is still under construction so, I apologize in advance for the ugliness! For now, in the classroom you can find some functional tests to assess mobility, lower body strength and balance as well as a 14-day sleep reset guide, but I'd be more than happy to answer any question you might have and help in any way I can so do not hesitate to reach out!

I've noticed that none of the elderly people I work with is able to do the exercise I'm going to explain. The person is in the position of the picture you see below (arms open or close whether we want to decrease or increase the difficulty respectively). Few patients are able to keep their balance in a heel-to-toe position (or tandem stance), but when I asked them to completely turn their head to the right and to the left (while, of course, maintining this position) it simply becomes impossible to keep their balance and they need to quickly hold onto something not to fall. This exercice clearly creates 'sensory conflict' since it implies a vestibular stimulation and it breaks the visual dependency of staring at a fixed point, requiring a greater implication of proprioception. If you feel like giving it a try, I would love to hear your thoughts ☺️

A huge welcome to @Liz Lemarchand !! We are delighted to have you in our community! 🤗 We would love to get to know you so, please, whenever you have some time feel free to introduce yourself! 😊 We have a weekly accountability check-in where members can share one (or more) big or small action(s) they took for their health that week (I tend to do it on Sundays but it's really up to you, no pressure and no obligation!). Simple real-life steps in the right direction, nothing extreme. For now, you can find a basic pain course in the Classroom but I would love, if you feel like sharing it with us here, which health-related topic(s) are you most interested in and/or what would you like to know about mobility and strength in more detail! And, of course, do not hesitate to ask if you have any question! ❤️
