A single fall can change everything. Orthopedic surgeons witness this firsthand, and they also know that most falls are NOT inevitable. The sessions explain the musculoskeletal forces behind fall risk: how bone density, muscle mass, gait, and joint function shift with age, and how those changes interact with everyday hazards. There are 4 sessions: Tuesday, Sept. 15 and Wednesday, Sept. 23 - October 7. Attend one session or all four. Can't join us? These classes will also be recorded.
