||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||


Join Karol Wilson, DPT, for a three month fall prevention Tai Ji Quan: Moving for Better Balance® class at Orcas Senior Center. Karol, a Doctor of Physical Therapy with 30 years of experience, is excited to introduce this evidence-based program, developed by the Oregon Research Institute. Tai Ji Quan is scientifically proven to enhance physical and mental health, manage chronic conditions, improve neurological function, and reduce fall risk. The class is tailored for ambulatory individuals with minimal reliance on mobility aids.

Classes will begin in August and will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. (no class August 6). The fee is donation-based, suggested at $15 per class ($12 for OSC members) or $100 for a 10-class pack. Financial constraints will not prevent participation.

Participants are advised to wear supportive shoes. For more information, visit www.tjqmbb.org or contact Karol at 206-755-0752 or Karol.Wilson@live.com.
