Tai Chi classes offered to help with arthritis and fall prevention

Wood County Senior Center at 305 N. Main St., Bowling Green

The Wood County Committee on Aging will be holding a Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention class virtually using the Zoom platform. The class, taught by certified instructor Tammy Starr, will be held every Sunday from Sept. 13 to Oct. 18, at 2:30 p.m. This course lasts for six weeks, and costs $15 to participate.

This CDC recommended evidenced-based program works through improving balance, confidence and muscular strength, all common causes for falls in older adults. The course is suited for those with perhaps some mobility deficits due to arthritis and/or those interested in maximizing balance.
