- Purpose
- The purpose of the San Diego Injury Prevention Program is to facilitate the maintenance of elderly longevity and mobility through weekly classes taught at senior residential facilities and potentially gymnasiums in the area. These classes will focus on teaching fundamentals of balance, endurance, strength, and flexibility. Students will engage with the local community by creating individualized workout plans for geriatric clients based on ability and goals. Leadership and organizational skills will be developed, and students are encouraged to be empathetic listeners where mental, emotional, and healthcare-related well-being is prioritized. The club may act as a social event for students and elderly clients, however the ultimate goal of the club is to provide injury prevention services to underserved communities within San Diego county. The program remains open to providing additional services such as referrals and advocacy within our scope of practice. All students are trained on all the basic exercises we facilitate any additional movements are trained on a case-by-case basis.
