Free Balance Assessments

Sign up at the Welcome Center for a 5-minute balance assessment with the Family Health Centers on Tuesday, May 31 from 9:00am to 11:00am and Wednesday, June 1 from 11:00am to 1:00pm. A physical therapist will be on hand to explain your results and share recommendations for exercise or referrals to specialized care. Balance is important to your well-being! Here's why:

  • Balance is key to maintaining or improving your independence with activities, allowing you to rely less on others to complete your daily tasks.
  • Balance improves your ability to move with confidence.
  • Improving balance can decrease your risk of falling and injury.
  • Good balance brings confidence to exercise more, which can decrease your overall stress and improve your overall mood!

FITNESS CLASSES TO TRY

Thanks to our versatile, excellent instructors, most moves in our group fitness classes can be modified to suit any fitness level. If you're new to our group fitness classes, start here:

  • Forever Fit
  • Gentle Yoga
