Balance Screenings
DO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT FALLING?
A MATTER OF BALANCE
Can help reduce the fear of falling and increase the activity levels of older adults who have concerns about falling!
A Matter of Balance is a national, evidence-based, injury prevention program sponsored by St. Luke’s University Hospital-Adult Level I Trauma Center, St. Luke’s Community Health and the Bethlehem Health Bureau.
A Matter of Balance is an 8-week course – 2-hour sessions, once a week for 8 weeks.
Classes include mild exercise, discussion, problem-solving, role-playing, idea-sharing and also a 10-minute break with a healthy snack.
Participants will learn to:
- view falls and fear of falling as controllable
- set realistic goals for increasing activity
- change their environment to reduce fall risk factors
- promote exercise to increase strength and balance
This is a FREE course offered to the community!
Participants should be ambulatory (with or without assistance) and should have the ability to problem-solve.
Classes will be offered in Spring. For more information call 484-526-7035.
