OTAGO FALL PREVENTION EXERCISE CLASS IN PERSON!

 

 

·      Otago is a program of 17 exercises designed to increase strength and balance, proven to decrease the incidence of falls when practiced regularly by seniors.

·      ERCV offers two in-person classes and one on Zoom (see calendar item below) each week. All are welcome, including those who use a cane or walker. We have a set of ankle weights to loan out and will assist you in getting your own.

 

·      Classes meet in an upstairs meeting room at the Juanita E. Thornton/Shepherd Park Library at 7420 Georgia Ave. There is an elevator. The room is large, with an air filtering machine. Instructors and participants wear masks during class.

 

·      There is a small parking lot in front of the library and some street parking on Georgia Ave. (some metered) and in the neighborhood along Geranium and 12th Streets. We can arrange rides for ERCV members.

 

·      Register HERE or for more information contact [email protected] or phone Susan Davis at 202-656-7322 to arrange an orientation before class.
