Drop in Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention
9:00 AM (America/Denver)
Jefferson School
Description:
Tai Chi for Arthritis & Falls Prevention is an evidencebased program designed to help manage arthritis
symptoms and reduce the risk of falls. The program runs
for 19 weeks, with classes twice per week.
Using gentle Sun-style Tai Chi, the movements, which
can be performed sitting or standing, aim to improve
range of motion, flexibility, balance, and posture,
making the program suitable for individuals of all fitness
levels. Each class begins with a warm-up, introduces
new movements that build on previous lessons, and
concludes with a cool-down.
The benefits of the program include increased flexibility,
improved balance, pain reduction, enhanced relaxation
through deep breathing, and a 70% reduction in the risk
of falls. This program is open to anyone looking for a
gentle movement class to manage arthritis symptoms
and prevent falls.
This program is set up as a drop-in class, so join around
your schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-10 am January 13th- May 28th Weather permitting we will meet outside in May at the Rocky Mountain Gardens at the Fairgrounds
