Balance

Life, many times, is all about balance.  This becomes more than an idea or an ideal as we age - it becomes critically important to our health and longevity.  The health care industry has acknowledged this, and there are many classes and gizmos available to help improve or maintain balance in the older adult.  My personal favorite, of course, involves doing the balance work in the water - specifically by practicing Ai Chi.


One study concluded  "This investigation’s findings suggest that an Ai Chi program leads to a clinical relevant increase of both static and dynamic balance in older people. There is a tendency to decrease fear of falling, although statistical significance has not been reached, but since fear of falling increased in the control group, a clinical relevant difference could be shown."
So, come to Ai Chi, improve your balance and your life!  Simple, right?  I'll be there every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 9am - come join us!
