General Injury Care and Prevention for Older Adults

Description Registration

This course will provide information to help prevent injuries when performing activities of daily living, such as gardening, shoveling snow, or other exercise. We share stretches and warm-up/cool-down activities to help thwart muscle soreness or future chronic conditions. In addition, there will be information on how to take care of acute and chronic pain for those times the body just didn’t play nicely. This will be an active class, so dress in comfortable clothing and bring a mat or a towel if you want to sit on the floor. We will also demonstrate how to do the same exercises in chairs, if that works better.
