Council Bluffs Senior Center
-- After a head injury, Cindy found it difficult to maintain her balance; even standing still was a challenge. So she rarely left the house for fear of falling. Her doctor suggested she take the beginner T’ai Chi class offered at the Council Bluffs Senior Center, a program supported by United Way donors. The slow movements of the ancient martial art help many people with balance and flexibility. It was hard at first, but Cindy soon noticed she was getting a little better with each class. "Now, I’ve moved up to the intermediate class, where I’m learning to balance and even walk! I still have some difficulty, and a long journey ahead of me, but would not be where I am today, mentally and physically, if not for this wonderful class."
