Free “A Matter of Balance” Classes Begin November 27

The Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida (AAASWFL) will be offering the free nine-week workshop A Matter of Balance (MOB) to residents ages 60+ and adults with disabilities who have concerns about falls, have sustained falls in the past, restrict activities because they are concerned about falls, or are interested in improving flexibility, balance and strength. Classes will take place at AAASWFL’s main office located at 2830 Winkler Avenue, Suite 112, in Fort Myers, on Mondays from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m., beginning November 27, 2023 – January 29, 2024.

Developed at the Roybal Center at Boston University, A Matter of Balance is an evidence-based program proven to empower participants to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risk at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance.
