Description
Balance, strength and overall health can change as you age, putting you at risk for falling. Join Providence experts for a free educational presentation on how to reduce your risk.
• Learn how medications, footwear and changes to your home environment can help keep you safe and on your feet.
• Try tai chi! Most events include a short, active introduction, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothes for moving. The regular practice of tai chi offers multiple health benefits and has been shown to reduce the risk of falling by 50%. It’s also a great way to improve strength and flexibility.
• Receive a personal medication review with a Providence pharmacist, if you wish. Attend for yourself or someone you love.
