Fall Prevention 101

Presented by: Rebecca Szostek, CHC-PT

Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults - but most falls can be prevented. In this engaging and informative presentation, participants will learn why fall prevention matters. How staying strong and active supports better balance, and practical steps they can take to reduce their risk. From simple home safety tips to effective exercises and health habits, this talk empowers seniors to stay confident, independent and safe.

The presentation is followed by a 20-minute guided exercise segment, where attendees will be invited to gently practice seated and standing strength and balance exercises specifically designed for the senior population. All movements are low-impact, fun, easy to follow and focused on building confidence, stability, and mobility.

No prior experience necessary. Please wear comfortable clothes and athletic shoes.
