Product Description
As age increases, so does the frailty of our bones. As a result, more and more senior citizens are faced with the physical and financial cost of unsuspected falls. Physical therapists and exercise professionals alike are working with senior citizens to increase strength and bone health with simple exercises. Debra Roses book Fallproof! is a great resource for any professional working in the above fields. Rose is an expert in health and aging and is also a physical therapist who has combined her knowledge to offer advice on exercises that can be accomplished at any level using an exercise ball. She also provides an introduction to core training and how it improves mobility as well as health, safety and assessment questionnaires.

This book is terrific for physical therapists and others looking for new ideas in how to remediate balance issues in their patients. The organization, by system, is terrific, and the progression of activities and exercises brillant. Dr. Rose has included the strongest balance measures and even provided a "cheat-sheet" to help make the transition from functional problem to specific exercise. This is a must read for anyone treating balance problems.
