Check out Chuck’s fantastic first round on the slip trainer:

What is Slip Training?
⚖️ Slip training is a specific form of balance training known as reactive balance training. It involves deliberately simulating slip-like disturbances to train the body’s rapid, automatic responses to unexpected loss of balance.
🥅 The goal is to improve reactive postural control, which helps prevent falls during real-life slips (e.g., on ice, wet floors, or uneven surfaces). Unlike traditional balance exercises (e.g., standing on foam or Tai Chi), slip training targets task-specific reactions, such as quick compensatory stepping, to recover stability after a sudden movement.

This technique is particularly beneficial for older adults, people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), stroke survivors, and those at high fall risk.

The COOLEST PART?
🤯Slip training reduces fall risk after ONE session for UP TO A YEAR! Studies show retention of skills UP TO 12 MONTHS AFTER A SINGLE HIGH INTENSITY SESSION (e.g., 24 repeated slips).

It’s superior to traditional balance training for reactive responses, with meta-analyses confirming fall reductions in older adults, PD, and stroke patients.

Slip training is a valuable part of any balance program and should only be completed by a trained professional with appropriate safety measures. While it may look intimidating, we start slow, always use a harness, can practice with your cane or walker, and gradually build intensity when YOU feel ready.

❄️ Winter Tip❄️
With recent storms bringing accumulating snow and slippery conditions across the state, falls are a real risk for anyone, not just those with balance issues.
One of our go-to safety hacks for the times you must go out in slippery conditions are Yaktrax traction cleats. These lightweight traction devices easily slip over your shoes or boots, providing 360° grip on ice and packed snow to help prevent slips and falls. They're perfect for walking the dog, running errands, or just getting to your car safely.

Navigate slippery terrain with greater safety and confidence using Yaktrax Walk Traction Cleats. These slip-on traction cleats are designed to minimize the risk of falls when walking on cold or slick surfaces, making them an indispensable winter-season gear for hiking, commuting to work or school...
