Program Description

Details

Join us for "Fall Prevention 101," a dynamic and informative workshop designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to reduce the risk of falls. Falls are a common concern, especially as we age, but with the right awareness and strategies, we can take steps to prevent them.

During this 90-minute workshop, we will:

  1. Identify Fall Risk Factors: Learn about common factors that contribute to falls and understand how they can be addressed.
  2. Explore Solutions: Discover practical solutions and simple adjustments that can be made in everyday life to create a safer environment.
  3. Evidence-Based Exercises: Examine evidence-based exercises aimed at improving strength, flexibility, and balance. These exercises are designed to be easily incorporated into your daily routine.

This workshop is a one-time event and serves as an excellent introduction to the comprehensive 8-week "A Matter of Balance" fall prevention program. The 8-week program builds upon the principles covered in Fall Prevention 101, providing a more in-depth exploration of fall prevention strategies.

Whether you are proactively seeking fall prevention strategies or considering joining our 8-week program, this workshop offers valuable information and a chance to make informed decisions about your well-being.

We look forward to having you at Fall Prevention 101!
