Free From Falls

Falls are common among people with MS, often leading to injury and negatively impacting quality of life. Free from falls is an 8-week fall prevention program designed for people living with MS who walk with or without a cane, but may be at the risk of falling.

Each week's 2-hour program will include:

FALL AWARENESS: discussion of issues related to falls.
BUILD BETTER BALANCE: exercises to improve postural alignment, balance and mobility.

You will learn:

•    Risk factors that may contribute to falls
•    Strategies to prevent falls
•    Exercises aimed at reducing fall risk
•    How to manage a fall if one does occur

We believe this investment in your safety and well-being will yield invaluable benefits in the long run.
