Tai Chi for Arthritis & Falls Prevention is an evidence based program designed to help manage arthritis symptoms and reduce the risk of falls. The program runs for 19 weeks, with classes twice per week. Using gentle Sun-style Tai Chi, the movements, which can be performed sitting or standing, aim to improve range of motion, flexibility, balance, and posture, making the program suitable for individuals of all fitness levels. Each class begins with a warm-up, introduces new movements that build on previous lessons, and concludes with a cool-down. The benefits of the program include increased flexibility, improved balance, pain reduction, enhanced relaxation through deep breathing, and a 70% reduction in the risk of falls. This program is open to anyone looking for a gentle movement class to manage arthritis symptoms and prevent falls.
Designed for ages 55+ but anyone 18+ is welcome. This program is set up as a drop-in class, so join around your schedule. $10/session – pay online or over the phone in advance or check or cash only in person.
