Strength & Stability Class
Balance disorders affect people across all walks of life. For older adults, balance-related falls account for more than one-half of accidental deaths. Patient care costs for falls, which are primarily due to balance disorders, exceed $8 billion per year.
Strength and Stability classes are intended for anyone hoping to improve their balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. These classes include various activities and exercises in a circuit-style environment. Individuals must be comfortable exercising in a group setting and be able to stand and move independently without a cane or walker. Please be sure to speak to your physician before beginning any exercise program.
Strength and Stability Classes are offered at various locations and times as follows:
