The Wood County Committee on Aging Inc. will hold a “Matter of Balance” course at the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St., every Tuesday from April 5 to May 24 from 1-3 p.m.

This eight-week evidence-based course costs $15 and includes a manual for training purposes and a certificate upon completion of the course.

The course is targeted toward seniors who are experiencing a fear of falling, becoming physically weak or who are limiting activities due to these fears.

During this class participants will learn to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risk at home, and exercise to increase strength and balance.
