Learn gentle exercise options that can help reduce the risk of falling. Registration required.
Ascension Parish Library teamed up with the Capital Area Agency on Aging to offer an evidence-based fall prevention program for adults 60 and older. Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention is a gentle exercise option that improves strength, balance, coordination, and flexibility and helps reduce the risk of falling.
Endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Arthritis Foundations worldwide, Tai Chi is easy, enjoyable, and safe for people with or without arthritis to learn. Medical studies have shown that the program can relieve pain for people with arthritis, improve their quality of life, and prevent falls for older adults.
