FARMINGTON — SeniorsPlus is offering a 16-week Tai Chi for Health workshop in its Franklin County satellite office for seniors looking for an accessible low-impact exercise program or managing pain or balance.
Tai Chi provides a low-impact exercise that improves muscular strength, flexibility and fitness. “Increasing your muscular strength supports and projects your joints which will in turn reduce pain. Exercises that work on flexibility also help to reduce pain and stiffness, thus improving mobility,” said a news release from SeniorsPlus. “Tai Chi improves your balance and significantly reduces the rate of falls in older adults. Tai Chi for Health can help you improve your quality of life and remain independent.”
The workshop will be on Mondays starting on June 26 and will take place at the Farmington Recreation Center 127 Middle St. Program cost is $40; scholarships are available. Call SeniorsPlus at 1-800-427-1241 to register or for more information.
