A Matter of Balance
Fridays, 10 am – 12 pm
Apr 24 – June 5, last class to be held on 6/26
A Matter of Balance (MOB) is specifically designed to reduce the fear of falling and improve activity levels among community-dwelling older adults. The evidence-based program from the Center of Aging, enables participants to reduce the fear of falling by learning to view falls as controllable, setting goals for increasing activity levels, making small changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance. Participants learn about the importance of exercise in preventing falls and practice exercises to improve strength, coordination, and balance. Presented by Spectrum Community Services, Inc, the program consists of 8 two-hour classes.
