Description
Defying Gravity: Brain-Based Fall Prevention is a comprehensive program designed to transform how you understand and address fall risks.
Developed by Dr. Eric Cobb, founder of Z-Health, this course combines cutting-edge neuroscience, practical strategies, and advanced tools to make you a leader in fall prevention AND fall preparation.
If you’re ready to revolutionize your work and create lasting change for your clients, this course is the detailed roadmap you’ve been looking for.
The Neuroscience of Falls
Understand how the brain controls balance, movement, and the fear of falling. Learn to rewire these systems to reduce fall risks and boost confidence.
Client Stratification for Personalized Care
Master techniques to categorize clients based on risk factors, allowing you to tailor interventions for maximum impact.
Medication and Environmental Risks
Discover how medications and environmental factors contribute to fall risks and learn practical strategies to help clients mitigate them.
Advanced Visual and Vestibular Testing & Training
Learn cutting-edge visual and vestibular assessments and drills that directly improve balance, reduce fall risks, and enhance movement.
Fear-Free Falling Skills
Teach clients how to fall safely with over 30 techniques, including how to land, roll, and control falls in any direction.
Dynamic Agility and Mid-Fall Training
Implement agility drills and mid-fall protocols to sharpen responsiveness and improve dynamic movement and safety in high-risk situations.
Comprehensive Assessments and Testing
Learn advanced tools like SEAP Testing, gait assessments, and sensory evaluations to create a holistic understanding of each client’s needs.
Strength, Mobility, and Confidence Building
Create tailored strength and mobility progressions that build resilient, confident movers based on the most current research into fall risks.
Cutting-Edge Techniques
From focal muscle vibration to vestibular TENS, gain access to the latest research and methodologies to elevate your practice.

All of this is yours for just $799—because the massive impact of falls demands that every movement professional has access to these life-changing tools.
Most practitioners look at this and think they could piece it together with a balance course, some research, and a few specialty certifications. I spent years looking for that path before I built Defying Gravity because it doesn’t exist as one system.
The disciplines don’t talk to each other. The research is scattered across specialties that never cross-reference. Most importantly, almost none of it teaches what to do when prevention fails and someone actually falls. $21,000 is a conservative estimate of what it would cost just to gather the pieces elsewhere, and that still wouldn’t give you the system. If that sounds like a lot, I understand, but here’s some even more critical math.
What is one client worth to your practice over a year?
If the answer is $500 per month, that client represents $6,000 in annual revenue. If a fall leads to fear, less movement, and eventually the end of your training relationship, the cost of losing one client is already 14x the cost of the course. That fear-and-inactivity cycle is common: people fall, become afraid of falling again, move less, lose capacity, and become more vulnerable to the next fall.
Now multiply that by five.
That’s $30,000.
While that is not a prediction, or a guarantee, it’s based on average statistics which make it a math problem worth considering.
And then there is the far less comfortable question:
What does it cost if you fall?
If you can’t demonstrate, coach, travel, or work normally for several weeks, a fall doesn’t have to end your career to become expensive. It only has to interrupt it.
Defying Gravity is $424. Once.

What practitioners say
There is no way I wouldn’t have signed up for this course. What an important mission: to challenge and provide a roadmap to reverse the reducible causes of falls. The material needs to pollinate so many areas of care.
Defying gravity is a completely genius program. I have started using it with my clients who had serious falls and injuries. It’s beautiful to watch how their frozen bodies start to loosen up and accept movement again.
