In this video I discuss stepping strategies, and the seven steps I use when teaching my patient this important fall prevention skill. These stepping strategies are sometimes the first line of defense to preventing a fall. They are extremely easy to learn and teach. I suggest everyone learn these stepping strategies for increased safety and injury prevention!

Happy falling!

Need a mat?

I recommend learning these techniques either on a soft surface such as grass, or using a mat for safety. A few basic 2in mats I would recommend are the We Sell Mats 4ft x 6ft x 2in, We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 2in, and We Sell Mats 4ft x 10ft x 2in. If you need a thicker mat for safety or comfort I recommend the Tumbl Trak 4ft x 8ft x 4in or the We Sell Mats 4ft x 8ft x 4in.

Thanks for watching the video, and learning a new skill that can help you and your patient/client in the future! What is the hardest part about this technique for you? Have you ever used a falling technique before to save yourself? Comment below and let me know.

Happy falling!
