IOSCO COUNTY- Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention helps people with or without arthritis to improve balance, both mentally and physically, which helps significantly reduce the rate of falls experienced by older adults.

- Increases strength
- Increases balance and posture
- Prevents falls
- Improves mind, body, and spirit

Tai Chi for Arthritis and Falls Prevention is led by a certified instructor.
