Theresa Lynn Combs has been an instructor at Indianapolis Oasis since 2001 and she says that teaching falls prevention classes is very satisfying. "I'm blown away by the tenacity and desire of class participants to stay on their feet and overcome their fear of falling," she says. "I truly love knowing I am making a difference helping people assess their surroundings, feel comfortable in getting out and staying active." There are a number of great ways to stay on your feet! 

Matter of Balance

Manage falls and increase activity levels. Learn to view falls as controllable, set goals for increasing activity and make changes to reduce falls risks at home. Practice simple exercises in class and continue on your own to increase strength and balance.
