Fairbanks, AK, September 07, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Tanana Chiefs Conference (TCC) has partnered with

accidents can be dramatically reduced through learning this set of easy, yet effective, activities. Older
adults need no longer live in fear of falling and can lead productive and fulfilling lives.”

Developed by Dr. Betty Perkins-Carpenter, Rochester, NY, founder and President of Senior Fitness Inc.,
6 Steps to Better Balance™ is a proven program that utilizes repetitive practice of a series of movements
and simple activities, such as the “Chorus Line” and “Dancing with a Pillow,” to help older adults gain
better balance and increase their level of daily physical activity.

It is designed to reduce the probability of falls, the fear of falling and fall-related injuries. It also increases
body flexibility, leg strength and overall endurance.

“It has been our dream to take this life-saving fall prevention program to all 50 states. We are so excited
to bring our program to the great state of Alaska,” said Claye. “Special thanks to our Co-Sponsor TCC
