Falls are the number one cause of injury in adults over 55.  1 out of 3 adults over 65 fall each year.  Falling once doubles your chances of falling again.  Falling is NOT inevitable.  Tai Chi has been proven to be a specific fall risk reduction exercise program.  Tai chi combines the physical components of leg strength, flexibility, range of motion, and reflexes; along with the mindfulness of coordination and balance.
