Acton COA Presents: Move with Confidence: A Fall, Posture, Balance & Wellness Screening

In celebration of National Falls Prevention Week, come take part in a free wellness screening event focused on helping you stay upright, active, and independent. Hosted by Rehab Health 360 in partnership with the American Physical Therapy Association’s Geriatrics Special Interest Group, this interactive event includes four hands-on screening stations:

• Vitals & Orthostatic Hypotension Check – Understand your blood pressure changes and how they may affect balance
• Timed “Up and Go” Test – Assess your mobility, cognitive ability and risk for falls during dual task
• Strength Screening – Understand how your lower extremity strength impacts your balance
• Four-Stage Balance Test – See how steady you are in various standing positions

In addition to the screenings, we’ll provide practical education on choosing the right footwear and what types to avoid, techniques for getting up safely from the floor if a fall occurs, and fall prevention strategies. Please don’t wait for a fall before taking action! Small improvements in awareness of strength, balance, and posture can make a big difference in your confidence and independence. Registration is required—contact the Council on Aging to reserve your spot.
