Falls are the #1 cause of unintentional death in adults 65 and
above and a leading cause of death for adults living with chronic
conditions such as heart disease.
This 6 week series works to improve balance, build muscle strength, flexibility
and mobility to enhance overall physical health, which leads to better functioning
in daily activities. Participation in the program may also result in better mental
health, reduced stress, improved memory and cognition, and increased
self-esteem.
The program is taught in a safe and supported group setting which will provide
participants the opportunity to feel engaged while having fun and making new
friends.
