A Matter of Balance: Group A (Thursdays, January 19th – March 9th)

Falls are the leading cause of injury and hospitalization for trauma — as well as trauma-related death — among older adults. If you are 65 or older, have had a fall in the past year, or live alone, this workshop provides information on keeping balance, the causes of falls, and dangers to look out for. Topics covered include:

• Simple and fun balance and strength training
• The role that vision plays in keeping your balance
• How medications can contribute to falls
• What to look for in safe footwear
• How to eliminate fall hazards in your home

We meet virtually for 2 hours every week in small groups for 8 weeks.
You must have reliable internet access, a computer with a web camera, microphone and speaker to allow for videoconferencing. If you are not able to attend A Matter of Balance virtual please register for a in person class.
