LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus will hold “A Matter of Balance” classes at their new Education Center located on 8 Falcon Rd. Classes will run from 2 to 4 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, Sept. 14 through Oct. 7. The cost is $18 for the series of classes.

“A Matter of Balance” is designed to reduce people’s fear of falling by improving flexibility, balance and muscle strength.

The program includes eight two-hour classes where participants learn to view falls and fear of falling as controllable, to set realistic goals for increasing their activity, to change their environment to reduce the fall risk factors and to promote exercise to increase strength and balance.

“This is a research based program. Past participants have found significant improvement in reducing their risk of falling and felt less anxious about limiting their activities because of their fear of falling,” said Connie Jones, director of community services.

Advanced registration is required. For more information and to register, call SeniorsPlus at 1-800-427-1214. Checks may be made payable to SeniorsPlus.
