Falls-prevention classes
The Pagosa Springs Senior Center is pleased to announce our first Matter of Balance program.
A Matter of Balance is an award-winning falls-prevention program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase the activity levels of older adults who have concerns about falls.
The classes help participants to:
• View falls and the fear of falling as controllable.
• Set realistic goals for increasing activity.
• Change their environments to reduce risk factors for falling.
• Promote exercise to increase strength and balance.
You can benefit from the classes if you:
• Are concerned about falls.
• Have sustained a fall in the past.
• Restrict activities because of concerns about falling.
• You are interested in improving flexibility, balance and strength.
• You are age 60 or older, ambulatory and able to problem-solve.
The Matter of Balance program lasts eight weeks. Classes are on Wednesdays from 9 to 11 a.m. Snacks will be provided. Class size is limited.
