 These Presenters are from the Dept. of Physical Therapyat the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).  They will show you how to (a) reduce the risk of falls in your home, (b) address health issues that impair balance, and (c) do simple exercises to improve balance.   They’ll give you related information-sheets to review at home.

 You’ll learn about both the Fall-Risk Evaluation and the Balance-Recovery Training that are offered by UIC to Seniors, free of charge.

 A Physical Therapist will be present to talk with Seniors individually about problems with standing, walking, balance, or fear of falling, and how to reduce those problems.
