A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls
A Matter of Balance is an award-winning program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase activity levels. This program uses a variety of techniques to address the fear of falling and teach fall prevention strategies.
Participants will learn to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance. Participants who should attend are anyone concerned about falls, interested in improving balance, flexibility and strength, and has restricted activities because of falling concerns.

Testimonials from local community classes that we have conducted:
" A Matter of Balance was helpful - it made me aware of what can be done to ensure safety at home. The class provided a time to meet and discuss concerns with others. I wish we had even more exercise activities at each class. Great to share and learn!"
"Working flexibility exercises into daily life eg. watching tv commercials or waiting for the microwave, has helped make changes to my life from attending the class."
"Thank you for the opportunity to attend the class. Very Worthwhile!"
