Feeling wobbly? Learn about balance and stability at a free program on Feb. 21 at Berlin Senior Center. Sponsored by Cedar Mountain Commons.
BERLIN - The fear of falling is a major health problem among seniors, and actually has a name: basophobia. As people age, it can become more difficult to maintain balance and falls can become more common. Quyntin Adams, exercise physiologist at Cedar Mountain Commons, will present a free program on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 1 p.m., at Berlin Senior Center, 33 Colonial Drive. He will focus on reducing environmental risks, improving physicality, boosting bone strength, and additional factors that can prevent falls. Cedar Mountain Commons is sponsoring.
