In response to Fall Prevention “Call to Action” Post
What an appropriate document to receive at this time, when the CALIFORNIA COLLEGE SYSTEM, UNIVERSITIES and COMMUNITY COLLEGE, are addressing this very issue, NOT IN A POSITIVE WAY, BUT IN A NEGATIVE WAY, with issue SB 173, which is undermining their own fiscal state budget in the overall scheme of things.
THIS “CALL TO ACTION” is one which not only has a “clear sense of vision,” but allows “the senior adult” to live wisely and confidently regarding ones own wellness choices. Retirement is not about “stopping” in order to get on with die -ing. It is a way of refocusing ones energy and rediscovering why you are on this planet, and what you next mission is – how you can expand others with your gifts, passions and talents. Most retirees do this amazing work as volunteers. They raise funds, volunteer at VA’s, run the “Meals on Wheels” programs which feeds millions of seniors. They run the voting booths, volunteer at hospitals, and these areas named are but a speck of countless hours spent addressing and helping others. They also pay taxes.
The “Call to Action” would save the STATE MEDICARE SYSTEM thousands, no millions of dollars in medical, rehabilitation, and therapeutic costs. It is as if “the blind are leading the blind.” Senate Bill 173, puts education at risk, without considering how many of our SAFETY, WELLNESS, and ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMS ARE actually addressing FALL PREVENTION through such classes as “BALANCE and MOBILITY” which uses the guidelines of STATE RESEARCH PROJECTS such as performed by Dr. Rose and Dr. Jones through the Gerontology Department at Ca. State University,Fullerton. entitled “FALL PROOF.” The Fall Prevention Project was documented with results that clearly address not only a Positive Approach to Balance Awareness and how to strengthen the body to keep “self-awareness” as a priority, but also documents the medical costs spent on hip replacements, which may or may not save ones life in the end. People, wake up. Your power and rights are being usurped.
I use the Sanddune in my four Balance Courses, because of the amazing and positive results. And guess what? At this time, Saddleback Emeritus classes are free. Wake up, the enemy is at our gates, and it is coming to steal your “rights to live.” Miriam Tait
Exercise option to add to your regimen
Why should I try using the SANDDUNE™ instead of the treadmill or elliptical trainer all the time?
SANDDUNE™ is a molded foam exercise device comprised of a blend of two different foam densities. One density allows you to sink into the SANDDUNE™ and the other pushes your foot back up. If walking or exercising on conventional surfaces causes you pain or discomfort in your joints, either during the activity or afterwards, you will be amazed at how comfortable walking on the SANDDUNE™ feels. Especially after wearing high heels or heavy work boots it is an immediate relief and comfort to step on the SANDDUNE™. The uniqueness of its form, angles and materials combined, offer the body greater opportunity to incorporate a higher degree of participation of the small, forgotten muscles involved in proprioceptive system and allows better mobility in the hip joints, knees, ankles and feet.
