(At-Risk-For-Falls)

Are you at risk for falling? Do you have a muscle weakness or a change in vision or balance? Let us assess your risk for falling and help you prevent a debilitating fall! Classes include balance-specific exercises, hand-eye coordination activities and body awareness movements. Using equipment such as fitness balls, resistance hoops, tinix stix and balance apparatus, you’ll have fun getting in touch with your balance. Falls are not a normal part of aging. Conquer your risk for falls!

Classes meet at Grand View Hospital, Sellersville, PA and Tohickon Valley Elementary School, Quakertown, PA. Please call 1-610-807-9574 for more information.

Visually Impaired Programs

These special classes emphasize verbal cuing and use of the four available senses. Using props such as paper plates, balloons, balls and resistance tools participants learn to open up their body to the space around them. Becoming comfortable going to the floor and exploring spacial relationships, students learn to balance and work in the vertical as well as the horizontal positions. Let us help deter your risk for falls!

Seasonal classes are taught at Lehigh and Montgomery County Associations for the Blind. Please call 1-610-807-9574 for more information.

Arthritis Program

Increase your flexibility and strength, delay osteoporosis and decrease the effects of arthritis. As we slowly warm-up, our muscles tend to work better so we can work through that arthritis discomfort into a stronger and healthier-feeling-you-u-u! Use of warm, hand-held balls, larger fitness balls and other equipment loosens stiff joints and muscles, increases grip strength, finger dexterity and ankle strength. Independent living is out goal i.e. being able to open jars, doors, etc., get up from a chair and avoid falls.

Classes are held seasonally at various centers. Please call 1-610-807-9574 for more information.
