Improvement in your balance can reduce and even prevent falls. Good balance can relieve the fear and worry of moving around. As a result, you will have greater independence and overall well-being. We care about helping you to discover simple ways to prevent falls. While statistics tell us that 1 in 4 people age 65 or older falls each year, and falls are the #1 cause leading to decline and death in seniors, there are proven strategies to prevent falls, and regain or strengthen balance no matter your age. We know balance comes from the brain, and yet many falls prevention programs focus only on the body. We will encourage you and focus on promoting and maintaining better balance, coordination, and posture through a series of simple brain and muscle exercises. What sets this balance training apart from most others is that it recognizes the importance of the brain to body connection. There is both a cognitive and physical component to this workshop. It might be challenging, but fun! Not only will you learn more about balance and preventing falls, you will receive a huge boost to your brain!
