Ages 18 & up: Free and open to the community!
Ready, steady, balance! In the U.S., fall-related injuries are a major health concern for individuals over 65, as well as those living with chronic conditions such as heart disease. But, falling is not an inevitable part of aging.
Visit us to learn the risk factors of falls and how to prevent them in your daily life. We'll also have Y staff available to give falls risk assessments and share information about our upcoming Moving for Better Balance program starting in January.
The free assessment takes 5-10 minutes and includes a risk quiz, Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, and balance test. Please wear comfortable clothes, your regular footwear, and use your customary walking aid. No registration required.
