This is an award-winning program. 97% of participants who have used the program would recommend A Matter of Balance to others.

Participants will learn how to:

• View falls as controllable
• Set realistic goals for increasing activity
• Reduce fall risks in their environment
• Increase balance with exercise

A Matter of Balance workshop includes eight two-hour sessions led by trained facilitators. Older adults that have turned down a change to go out with family and friends or have cut down on a favorite activity because they are afraid they might fall now have a program to address those fears. A Matter of Balance program emphasizes practical strategies to reduce this fear and increase activity levels.

• If you have a fear of falling or have fallen in the past
• if you restrict activities because you are concerned about falling
• if you are interested in improving flexibility and increasing your activity level
• if you are 60 or older, ambulatory and able to problem solve

This program could be just what you are looking for!
