Reactive / Perturbation Training (Supervised)

Reactive balance is highly effective for real-world fall prevention but involves deliberate loss of balance. Perform ONLY with a trained partner/spotter and clear surroundings; ideally professionally supervised.

Grade inherited from the evidence blocks this routine implements. Duration is a starting point (do more or less); the app just tells you where you land against the evidence-based dose.
