Evidence Based and Therapeutic programs
Matter of Balance: Many seniors experience fear of falling and restrict their activities. A Matter of Balance: Managing Concerns About Falls emphasizes practical strategies to reduce this fear and increase activity levels. This program was developed at the Roybal Center at Boston University, and has been nationally recognized by the National Council on Aging.
Arthritis Foundation Tai Chi Program®: Designed to improve the quality of life for people with arthritis using Sun style Tai Chi, one of the four major recognized styles of Tai Chi. This style includes agile steps and exercises that may improve mobility, breathing and relaxation. The movements don't require deep bending or squatting, which makes it easier and more comfortable to learn.
