OTAGO Exercise Class

OTAGO
FREE Exercise Program
Fridays from 10-10:50 am
In-person at Greendale Center

In collaboration with the CMU College of Medicine, we are happy to introduce OTAGO! The Otago Exercise Program (OEP) is an evidence-based program proven to reduce risk of falls by 35-40%. Participants will have an initial assessment, then in once weekly classes, they will learn strength and balance exercises from students in the College of Health Professions and College of Medicine. Participants will be asked to perform the exercises two times a week on their own. After eight weeks, participants are assessed again and can see their progress. Classes will be ongoing. No fee to attend.

Participants will receive a binder with the exercises as well as a 5lb pair of ankle weights to keep! Registration and pre-class screening required before attending your first class.
