Do you find yourself not going out as much because you worry about falling? A Matter of Balance has proven to be effective in the management of falls. The Senior Hub has partnered with OSU Extension and the Family YMCA of Lancaster & Fairfield County to offer this FREE 8-week series to those 60 and older.

A Matter of Balance will help you:

  • Engage in a range of motion exercises that increase strength and balance
  • View falls and fear of falling as controllable
  • Overcome your fear of falling
  • Recognize fall risk factors
  • Set realistic goals for increasing activity
  • Excercises are low impact, seated, and participants can use a chair to help with balance. 

There is no cost for the program but registration is required. Call 740-653-5419 to register by August 27th.
