Stepping On – Springfield

Stepping On is a free, unique, research-based program that teaches strategies for avoiding falls. This workshop is designed for people age 60 and older who have fallen or have a fear of falling. United Senior Services hosts this workshop open to its members only (correction from earlier. We apologize for the error).

In just 7 weekly, 2-hour sessions, participants learn:

• balance and strength exercises
• home safety modifications
• medication review, and more.
• Guest experts include a physical therapist, pharmacist, and others visiting over the seven sessions providing falls prevention information and strategies for avoiding a fall.

Participants can expect to finish the program with more strength, better balance and a feeling of confidence and independence.

Registration begins June 17 by calling Cindy Lockwood at United Senior Services: 937-323-4948, ext. 140.
