(Submitted by the Wood County Committee on Aging)
The Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc. (WCCOA) will be holding a “Matter of Balance” course at the Perrysburg Area Senior Center, at 140 W. Indiana Ave., Perrysburg, every Tuesday from Sept. 10 to Oct. 29, from 10 a.m. to noon.
This course lasts for six weeks, and costs $15 to participate.
Are you experiencing a fear of falling? Are you limiting your activities due to this fear? Are you becoming physically weak? If you answered “yes” to any of these three questions, A Matter of Balance is for you.
During this class participants will learn to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risk at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance. Participants will receive a manual for training purposes and a certificate upon completion of the course.
This course is sponsored by Aetna Better Health of Ohio.
