ENGLISH CORNER, CON LINDA JIMÉNEZ – This week’s trivia question: What is the tagline for Thera-Fitness?
C. Vicki Gold, PT, MA, is currently retired from her more than 50 years as a practicing physical therapist, educator, and presenter. Her background, aside from her traditional medical training, has been rich in the area of mind-body well-being. Her trainings and practices have included yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, and Alexander and Feldenkrais techniques. The founder of Thera-Fitness, Vicki is an expert in helping people optimize their physical and even mental abilities with her ABC Mind-Body System. In 2018 we spoke with her about this system, and you can listen to that program here. In her new book, Aging Safely, Wisely, and Well, Vicki offers valuable mind-body knowledge, strategies, and techniques—including contributions from other professionals on topics such as: maintaining balance, preventing falls, managing with osteoporosis, making nutrition a priority, aging in place, and more— all to help older adults transform the ways they move through life.
The book includes an extensive glossary that encompasses definitions as well as further explanations, and it also has links to numerous videos that support the written text.
