A Matter of Balance

Matter of Balance (MOB) is specifically designed to reduce the fear of falling and improve activity for age 60+.  The program includes eight classes that run up to two-hours each session,  presented to a small group of 8-12 participants led by a trained coach. The program 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.

The curriculum includes group discussions, mutual problem solving, role-play activities, exercise training, assertiveness training, and a few homework assignments.

Participants learn about the importance of exercise in preventing falls and practice exercises to improve strength, coordination, and balance. Participants also conduct a home safety evaluation and learn to get up and down safely.

This class has a limited number of seats available, so we ask that you please only sign up if you can attend at least 7 out of 8 classes, have the ability to sit in a class that runs up to two hours, and that you personally will benefit/participate in the class (not only accompany another class participant), and are age 60+.
