Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention

UHS partners with the Broome County Office for Aging to bring this program to area senior centers, free of charge. 

With regular practice, Tai Chi improves balance by strengthening muscles and coordination. At the same time, it strengthens the mind, thereby improving calmness and confidence in not falling. Thus, both physically and mentally, tai chi is an extremely effective exercise for fall prevention. 

Participants must attend 16 sessions to complete the workshop.
