The Case For Safer Falling with Matt Scheib
About this episode
Matt Scheib discusses the importance of falling techniques for older adults to reduce injury and fear associated with falls.
Matt Scheib, a judo practitioner, judo school owner, and professional stuntman, explains how Ukemi (falling techniques) translate into teaching people 55+ to reduce injury, fear, and stigma around falls, which he frames as a normal part of life. We discuss barriers created by fall-prevention-only language, the importance of changing the narrative around falling, making movement more fun and helping people gain confidence instead of avoiding risk altogether.
