Matter of Balance Class at North Mecklenburg Senior Center

1274.jpg The Matter of Balance program is designed to reduce the fear of falls, promote the view that falls are controllable, and promote exercise to increase strength and balance.  It is designed to benefit older adults who are concerned about falls, have sustained a fall in the past, restrict activities because of concerns about falling, are interested in improving flexibility, balance and strength, are age 60 or older, ambulatory and able to problem solve.

The ladies and gentlemen at the North Mecklenburg Senior Center in Cornelius, NC have enjoyed the Matter of Balance class with instructor Ashley Kennedy, where they learned strategies to increase activity levels and reduce their fear of falling.

"Ashley was a great and enthusiastic leader and a delight to take the class with.  She certainly inspired all to start exercising."

100% of Matter of Balance participants surveyed said they:

  • would recommend the class to a friend.
  • feel comfortable talking about their fear of falling.
  • plan to continue to exercise.
  • feel more comfortable increasing activity.
  • have made changes to their environment.

    "My mother, Betty Young had developed health problems.  This lead to a lack of confidence and a fear of walking on her own.  I read about this class in our local town newspaper and enrolled her in it.  She progressed and bloomed from a person who had lost her smile and joy to the mother that I knew who would talk to other participants.  She couldn't wait to go back to the next class.  I intend to keep her coming to the Senior Center in Cornelius."
