Stepping On – Springfield

The Springfield Masonic Community hosts this seven-week program 9:30-11:30am Tuesdays from Oct. 8 through Nov. 19 at its Festival Green Clubhouse. Open to both Springfield Masonic Community residents and the surrounding community. 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.

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. If unable to start on Oct. 8, then please register so they know to expect you will start the 2nd week on Oct. 15 instead.
