Our sensory, visual, and vestibular systems work together with your strength and flexibility in a coordinated way to keep your balance and prevent falling. Targeted exercises are a great way to improve these balance systems and get more fit at the same time.

This class is 55 minutes long and happens on Saturday mornings for 4 weeks. Class size is limited, and a FREE balance pre-screening is required. You must pre-register for both a pre-screening AND the class. Contact Sue Taves at SueTavesPT@gmail.com to register.
