Fit & Fall Proof class starting |
|
January 12, 20018 |
The Senior Hospitality Center will begin the
winter session of the “Fit and Fall Proof Class”
beginning Monday, January 15, running at 10:45
a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through
March 30.
The free classes, each an hour long, are
specifically targeted for older adults or anyone
who would like to improve their fitness or has a
history of falling or a fear of falling. The
class will take you safely through a process of
improving strength, flexibility, mobility,
balance and endurance.
The instructors are Karen Meeker, a physical
therapist and Feldenkrais practitioner, and
Cynthia Knittel, a physical therapy assistant.
Based on their knowledge of movement and the
importance of attention in learning to move more
easily, they will be addressing functional
topics such as posture improvement, coming up
from sitting to standing, reaching for the
floor, coming up from the floor, reaching into a
cupboard, turning to look behind you in your car
... all those activities that typically become
more difficult with age.
During this process, you will learn strategies
to help ease pain and discomfort, prevent
injury, increase energy, reduce stress and
improve concentration. With the use of music and
other “toys” the sessions are fun and engaging.
Do we stop playing because we get older or do we
get older because we stop playing? Come and play
with us at the Senior Hospitality Center!
Please call (208) 267-5554 to
pre-register. |
