You can protect yourself from dangerous falls by taking a course that helps you keep your balance while improving your overall health. The Door County YMCA will offer two fall prevention classes beginning in the New Year. Specialty Wellness Director Abby Tesch says the specialty programs will begin January 8, including “Stepping On,” which will be held at the ADRC building in Sturgeon Bay. She shares the details of that free educational program and the “Moving for Better Balance.”
Tesch adds that the CDC reports that taking Tai Chi can help reduce your risk of falling by 55 percent.
