Healthy Aging - Improve Your Strength and Stability

Date: September 16

Time: 9am PDT / 12pm EDT

Falls and related injuries impact 1/3 of seniors and cost over $1B annually in BC. To stem the tide of this common and preventable issue, we will examine why falls happen and how to mitigate the risk.

Join Ingrid Knight-Cohee, Director of Healthy Aging & Chronic Disease Programs at YMCA BC, to learn more about falls and how to prevent them as part of your overall healthy aging strategy. In this webinar, you’ll learn about fall prevention strategies and tips to incorporate them into your daily life, and towards the end, she’ll take you through a basic assessment and show easy exercises to help you work on your balance.

Make sure to wear comfy clothes and have a bit of room to move around, as this will be an interactive webinar. Exercises shown can be done standing or sitting.
