The Wood County Committee on Aging will be holding a “Matter of Balance” course at the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St., Bowling Green, every Tuesday from April 11 to May 16 from 1 to 3 p.m.
This eight-week evidence-based course costs $20 and includes a manual for training purposes and a certificate upon completion of the course.
The class is designed for people who are experiencing a fear of falling, limiting activities due to this fear, or becoming physically weak. During this class, participants will learn to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risks at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance.
Contact the Programs Department of WCCOA to register by calling 419-353-5661 or 1-800-367-4935, or by e-mailing programs@wccoa.net.
