Free Fall Down / Stand Up Program for Older Adults
When
Wed, Nov 11 at 11:30am – 12:30pm
Fall Down / Stand Up: Mastering the Art of Fall Prevention and Fall Recovery is a free 10-week community program designed to help older adults feel stronger, steadier, more prepared, and more confident. Stephen Cornely of Triad Wellness Philly will teach strength, balance, reaction, and movement skills designed to reduce fall risk. Judith Sachs of Anyone Can Move will teach practical strategies for approaching the ground safely, practicing falling techniques on padded gym mats, moving after a fall, and getting back up with greater confidence. The goal is not to make people more fearful of falling. It is to help participants become stronger, more capable, and better prepared. Independence Blue Cross is fully funding the program, allowing all 10 weeks to be offered completely free to participants. Classes meet Wednesdays from 11:30 AM–12:30 PM, September 9 through November 4, with the final class held Tuesday, November 10. Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
