Balance With Brent Part 1: Balance (Pre-Fall)
Balance With Brent is a 3-part presentation series I delivered at Stone Hill an assisted living facility in Andover, MA in December 2025. Each talk explores a different stage of the falling continuum:
Part 1: Pre-Fall (Balance)
Part 3: Post-Fall (Ground Recovery / Getting Off the Ground)
These presentations were intentionally unrehearsed, with only the topic of the day prepared. This allowed for real-time audience questions, discussion, and participation, making each session interactive and responsive to the group.
The first talk focused on balance. I discussed the major systems that contribute to balance, how I assess balance in real life (not just in clinical tests), practical ways to train and improve balance, and the many subtle ways balance problems can show up during everyday activities, often long before an actual fall occurs.
I hope you enjoyed the talk! Leave your takeaways and thoughts in the comments below.
