On the Move

• Do you struggle to run errands and attend community events because walking is difficult?
• Do you limit outings with family and friends because walking is a challenge?
• Do you find yourself longing to go to the places you used to go, doing the things you used to do?
• Do you want to improve your walking ability and confidence?
• Are you currently able to walk on even surfaces independently or with a cane?

If you answered YES to these questions then On the Move is the class for YOU!

What is OTM?

It is an evidence-based group exercise program developed by physical therapists to improve the quality and efficiency of walking.

OTM is for adults who:

• Can walk independently or with a cane but struggle in the community due to unsteadiness and difficulty walking
• Want to improve their walking ability and confidence with walking
• Want to exercise and have fun

How does OTM work?

• Two 50-minute exercise classes each week for 12 weeks
• Classes led by a certified instructor
• Specialized walking and stepping patterns to improve the timing and coordination of walking through high repetition activity
• Exercises are tailored to individual abilities
• All classes are done to music

OTM participants who consistently attend class often demonstrate the following:

• Increased confidence with walking
• Walk farther without having to stop to rest
• Walk faster which is related to fewer falls and less disability
• Daily tasks become easier to complete

Class sizes will be limited! Registration information coming soon.
