The ability to balance when we stand and when we walk is a complex skill that many people take for granted. Usually, balancing is something that people do without conscious thought. But for others, balance is a struggle and falls can lead to devastating health effects. It’s never too early to start working on your balance! Join Crosby Wellness Center’s Joy Henderson in this program focused on key balance exercises and how to improve balance. This program is the right fit for adults and older adults interested in a balance-training program that can establish healthy and good habits for life.
All attendees of this program will receive a special ball to take home with them to continue practicing balance exercises taught during this workshop.
Special Instructions: Please wear comfortable shoes for this program.
This program is presented by Joy Henderson and hosted by the Winter Park Health Foundation in collaboration with the Crosby Wellness Center.
