The A Matter of Balance program is an evidenced based program designed to manage falls and increase activity levels among older adults. It acknowledges the risk of falling but emphasizes practical coping strategies to reduce the fear of falling. These include:

• Promoting a view of falls and fear of falling as controllable

• Setting realistic goals for increasing activity

• Changing the environment to reduce fall risk factors

• Promoting exercise to increase strength, flexibility, and balance
