    See details

    Fall Prevention, also known as B.A.S.E. (Balance Awareness Stability Everywhere), is a 12-week small-group, supervised exercise program created by the Healthpark to improve gait, balance, stability, and muscle strength, helping reduce the risk of falls. The program features two one-hour classes each week and six educational sessions that include shared medical visits. Participation requires being able to walk without heavy reliance on a walker or other mobility devices, a commitment to consistent attendance throughout the 12 weeks, medical clearance from a physician, and consent to pre-program testing to determine candidacy and post-program testing to measure progress. In a pilot group, participants who completed the class reported fewer falls, greater confidence with less fear of falling, and increased strength, stamina, and endurance. Cost is based on individual insurance and equals six co-pays typically charged for visits to a regular family medical provider, covering the six education sessions and shared medical appointments with a Lifestyle Medicine Physician.
