NEWLY EXPANDED! FALL PREVENTION PROGRAM

Starts Weds, 9/10 | Mon-Fri, 12pm-12:50pm

Active Wellness Center at Kruse Wood’s newly expanded Fall Prevention Program is designed to improve strength, balance, independence, fall risk awareness, and overall health of participants in order to prevent falls and improve quality of life.

Fall Prevention classes will be led by Medical Exercise Specialists Mana Shintani and Zach Ovall, whose individual class series will focus on unique yet complementary aspects of fall prevention and recovery, resulting in a well-rounded and effective training program.

PROGRAM FORMAT:
Each six-week session includes exercise programming, education and support for people who are at risk or have a fear of falling, and/or have experienced a fall event in the past. Sessions will be held every six weeks, alternating between Skills & Strength and Better Bones & Balance.

SKILLS & STRENGTH:
Fall Prevention Skills & Strength with Zach Ovall will kick off our new format on Wednesday, September 10th with classes running Mon/Fri from 12pm-12:50pm. Skills & Strength will focus on postural awareness and improvement, vestibular training, balance and stability training, lower body and core strength development, mobility work, and fall recovery exercises.

BETTER BONES & BALANCE
On Monday, October 27th, Better Bones & Balance with Mana Shintani launches with stability, mobility and agility training that enable you to put into practice the skills you develop in Zach’s class.

Better Bones will be offered in-person on Mon/Thurs from 12pm-12:50pm and virtually on Tues/Fri from 12pm-12:50pm.
