Elite Physical Therapy offering free fall prevention classes

Posted

Elite Physical Therapy has partnered with the Rhode Island Department of Health’s Falls Injury Prevention subcommittee to establish a “Matter of Balance” fall prevention exercise class series free to local communities starting this Friday.

The Matter of Balance Program is a nationally recognized program that was designed at Boston University. It is designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase overall strength, balance, flexibility, and activity levels among older adults.

Falls are a public health problem that is largely preventable. Each year, one in three adults over 65 will fall causing moderate to severe injuries.

Elite Physical Therapy’s Physical Therapists work one on one with each patient and their doctors to create personalized rehabilitation programs. The Elite Physical Therapists are from around the country and have advanced degrees and specialty training in orthopedic Physical Therapy, painful spine conditions, and manual “hands on” treatment techniques.

“Preventing injuries and taking active steps to maintain good overall health is so important”, says Elite Physical Therapy founder and Physical Therapist, Dr. Michael Nula. “We want to help keep people moving comfortably, and reduce their risk of injuries so that they can live active, healthy and happy lives.”

The Matter of Balance classes will be offered at Elite Physical Therapy’s Warwick location at 535 Centerville Road on Fridays from 2-4 p.m., Feb. 14 to March 21. For more details and to sign up call 737-4581.
