Matter of Balance

Falls can be funny to watch, but after age 65, they are not a laughing matter. In fact, for that age group, falls are the leading cause of accidents, and may often trigger a downward spiral that leads to longer term impairment and even death. Additionally, sometimes the fear of falling can be just as limiting as actually falling. You cut down on favorite activities or feel afraid to even express your concern about falling.

Matter of Balance is just the program to put you back in charge! In the class, you will learn to set realistic goals to increase activity, change your environment to reduce falls, and learn simple exercises to increase strength and balance.
