Owner's EDGE

By TJ Carter

The holiday season has arrived, and with it employer sponsored holiday parties. Holiday parties are an excellent way to bring together employees and their families in celebration of the season. However, employers must be cautious that the company celebration does not result in unanticipated problems.

Social host liability is a serious issue for employers who choose to throw holiday parties. Liability can arise for a holiday host when an intoxicated guest causes injury - whether at the function or after leaving. A social host's liability is greatest for drunken driving accidents, when the host has provided alcholic beverages to a visibility intoxicated individual who causes injury...

The inclusion of fun, effective and safe balance training in senior programs is critical. As the older adult population increases exponentially, the health care costs associated with a lack of balance and resultant falls totals a staggering 19+ billion dollars.

For the most transferable and useable functional balance training, exercises must engage multiple muscles and stimulate the body’s response in a manner that requires both to work together. This results in efficient movement. Both the BOSU® Balance Trainer (BT) and BOSU® Ballast® Ball (BB) are great tools to accomplish this goal.

Performing balance exercises on an unstable surface (or dome side up of the BT), results in unpredictable challenges to the body. Introducing this type of proprioceptively-rich training and physical stimulus results in head-to-toe integrated strength gains, and helps to develops body awareness and reactive capability. It not only challenges the participant and is fun, but it also enhances balance and functional movement. Older adults must be able to move through space, change direction, focus and react to everyday physical challenges on an ongoing basis.
