Call Newspapers: "Tripping Seniors Helps Make Them Steady"

Tripping seniors could make them steadier on their feet - at least that’s the idea behind ActiveStep, a modified treadmill designed to help seniors and others with risks of falling become more stable on their feet. The first ActiveStep in the Midwest outside of a laboratory is the centerpiece of newly opened business HouseFit, 3809 Lemay Ferry Road, 63125.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Fitness Center Targets Balance As Aging Baby Boomers Seek To Ward Off Injuries From Falls"

Mary Friedman is an active retiree who likes to go hiking and kayaking. She admits only to being in her mid-60s and walks with the confidence of someone who knows she can fudge her age. Beth Templin is trying to trip her up.

“I’m going to push you off balance,” Templin warns Friedman, who is strapped into a harness that wraps around her thighs, fastens across her torso and clips to a metal arch that bends over her head.

“I feel like I could bungee jump in this thing,” Friedman jokes on a recent afternoon. She’s the guinea pig for a new fall-prevention system called the ActiveStep Balance Trainer. Templin, a geriatric physical therapist, has just had the machine installed at HouseFit, the senior wellness center she owns in south St. Louis County.

I loved the idea of working for a large company with great benefits and lots of job security. I thought people in my graduating class who were excited about the possibility of owning their own clinic were a little crazy. I had no interest in it whatsoever. ​

Psychology Today: "5 Myths of Aging and Exercise—Busted!"​

As a physical therapist who specializes in promoting fitness and wellness for older adults, I find that one of the biggest barriers to getting people to exercise regularly is false beliefs about aging and exercise. I spend much of my time busting myths of aging and explaining to people that they truly do have control over their aging path and don’t have to accept the downhill slide of aging as inevitable.
