Do you have older clients with limited function, mobility or balance?

They're at risk for falls, suffering from degenerative diseases, and have probably given up fully participating in activities because of their limitations.

When they come to see you, they're in pain and hesitant to work through your exercises. All these factors limit your ability to see any progress or might make you feel like your exercise programs aren't making an impact on them.

Imagine having dozens of techniques to create individualized programs from. Your client would have the treatment that fits them, regardless of age or conditions - and they wouldn't be in pain because you could modify every single exercise specifically to their needs.

Not only that, but you'd be able to help them feel excited and engaged during sessions because they know the programs you're creating are for THEM.

Comprehensive Approach to Aging Confidently: Geriatric Posture, Core and Balance is your guide to create the best individualized exercise programs for your aging clients. The course is packed with visual exercises for strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and agility. Shari Kalkstein, BA, PTA, CSCS, EP-C, CPT, CMES, is handing you her innovative exercises, routines, and recommendations for the best exercise programs for your aging clients – including exact questions and assessments for effective, functional intervention. You’ll be able to create a program for each client with techniques for lower and upper extremities, weightbearing and non-weightbearing situations, and much more.
