In this episode, we explore one of the most overlooked—but absolutely essential—skills for everyday life: how to fall safely.

Whether you live with reduced mobility, manage a long‑term condition, or simply want to feel more secure in your body, knowing how to fall with confidence and control can significantly reduce injury and boost your independence.

PT Dan from our Peterborough gym sessions breaks down practical techniques, easy-to-understand body mechanics, that help you stay calmer and more in control when the unexpected happens. We’ll talk about how to protect vulnerable areas and how to work with your body instead of against it.

This episode is all about empowerment, safety, and building confidence—because everyone deserves the tools to stay safe and feel strong, no matter what life throws their way.
