Educational Series: "A Matter of Balance"

Many older adults experience concerns about falling and restrict their activities. “A Matter of Balance” is an award-winning evidence-based fall prevention program designed to manage falls and increase activity levels. Learn how to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity levels, make changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance using chair-based exercise.
