In this workshop, Treg Axtell, PT, and Patrick O’Neil, PT, will go over simple and safe ways to get up from the floor. Learn how to do it on your own, how to use a chair for support, and how to get up with the help of a partner if needed. We’ll show a short  demo with one or two volunteers, and then everyone will get the chance to practice  the techniques themselves. To help you stay strong and confident, we’ll also share 2– 3 easy exercises you can do on your own at home.
