Overcoming a fear of falling
Many older adults experience a fear of falling. People who develop this fear often limit their activities, which can result in physical weakness, making the risk of falling even greater. A Question of Balance, a program offered by the Sonoma Valley Regional Library and hosted by Vicki Jackson, will include a presentation about the importance of balance.
Tuesday, October 11, 2022, 11am. Free, but registration is required.
For the optional exercise practice, please plan to wear shoes that allow you to move safely. The exercises will not be strenuous, and you will have the support of a chair, but you will need to be able to stand for about 15 minutes at a time.
Vicki Jackson completed her Master’s in Kinesiology, with an emphasis in Older Adult Fitness, at Sonoma State University. She has been teaching fitness classes for over 15 years.
