A Matter of Balance

Falls are the number one cause of injuries and death from injury for older adults. A fall can threaten your independence and often prove costly, as well. This series helps adults 60 years and older realize that falls — and the fear of falling — are controllable. You'll learn ways to change your environment to limit risk factors and discover strength and balance exercises to reduce your chances of falling.

This award-winning program may be for you if you:

• Are concerned about falls
• Have fallen in the past
• Restrict activities because you’re worried about falling
• Are interested in improving your flexibility, balance and strength
• Are at least 60 years old, ambulatory and able to problem solve

This free, eight-week course is provided by a specialist in nutrition and health from University of Missouri Extension.

Adults 60 and older. Please register at www.dbrl.org/register-holts-summit to attend all eight sessions.
