Every second of every day, an older adult falls in the United States according to the CDC. This unfortunate statistic makes falling the leading cause of injury and injury related death in this age group. The good news is we can take steps to improve our stability to help avoid falls. Building Better Balance is a dynamic 45-minute standing class designed to decrease the risk of falls with focus on improving balance and lower body strength. Participants will be able to identify fall risks and move more intentionally.
