FOR YOUR HEALTH

What is something we are

concerned about the older we

get? For me, it’s falling or

bumping into a door edge or something that will cause me

to say, “that will be a bruise”.

Gee, a fall can put us in the

hospital!

In the Stretch and Flex class we

have an acronym called “PTC”.

The more we remind ourselves

of PTC, the less likely we are to

fall. Want to know what it is?

Come to our Stretch and Flex

class to find out! We always

have a couple of chairs for

visitors to come and observe.

Who knows? Afterward you

might say, “I can do that. I’ll

start coming and participating.” And, of course, you will find out

what PTC means. -Mike Leath
