With falls being the leading cause of injury deaths for people over 65, this lecture series is designed to help prevent falls and injuries as we age, although the techniques discussed can be applied at any age. MEL member Mitchel Krenz will look at the usual suspects, and unusual suspects, of fall and injury causes.
Lecture One (Friday November 13 at 9:30 AM) will discuss some of the common, and uncommon, causes of falls and what you can do to prevent them. We will also discuss balance in Lecture One and techniques to improve your balance.
Lecture Two (Friday November 20 at 9:30 AM) will discuss the importance of strength and mobility to improve your daily life and function. We will look at those activities that may be hurting us and those that may be making us stronger.
These are interactive sessions, so come prepared to participate as you are able.
