Many older adults worry about falling.  People who develop this concern often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater.  A Matter of Balance is a program designed for adults age 60 and older to increase activity levels and reduce the fear of falling. If you are concerned about falls, have sustained falls in the past, or are interested in improving your flexibility, balance and strength, this class is for you! 

Classes start monthly! Join a group of 8 to 12 people online through Zoom for 9 sessions led by 2 trained coaches.  Support is available to help participants navigate Zoom with confidence.

For more information or to register, email amob@mainehealth.org or call 207-661-3762.
