Stepping On: Group B (Tuesdays, June 7th -July 26th)
June 7, 2022 @ 2:00 pm – July 26, 2022 @ 4:00 pm
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.
At this time we are offering Stepping On in-person at Cotton O’Neil Express Care North 4505 NW Fielding Rd Topeka KS. If you are not able to participate in-person, please sign up for our Stepping On Virtual waiting list by emailing [email protected] and we will notify you when virtual sessions resume.
