United Senior Services in Springfield will be hosting an in-person Stepping On workshop on Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 a.m., July 11 – August 22. United Senior Services hosts this workshop open to both members and non-members.
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.
