Participants will also learn and practices exercises that strengthen the muscles that are linked to balance. This program is provided by Chatham Council on Aging and UNC Trauma Program. The first class of the series beings April 13th at 1 PM – 3 PM and will continue every Tuesday and Thursday from 1 – 3PM for the following four weeks.
