Sequim forum June 11 to focus on improving balance

SEQUIM — The next WOW! Working on Wellness Forum will offer exercises and information about improving balance.

The free forum will be at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 11, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 100 S. Blake Ave.

Barbara Paschal, retired physical therapist, will present “Focus Your Efforts to Improve Balance.”

“You can improve your health at any age,” she said.

She will discuss how practicing three exercises for 10 to 15 minutes once or twice a day can improve balance.

“These exercises help you focus on your body’s natural and needed awareness of the movements that help it gain strength, flexibility, core alignment and balance,” she said.

Paschal, who earned bachelor’s degrees in psychology and physical therapy, has more than 33 years of professional experience.

WOW! Working on Wellness is a health education program of the Dungeness Valley Health & Wellness Clinic — Sequim’s free clinic at 777 N. Fifth Ave., Suite 109.

The clinic, which is supported by more than 70 volunteers, provides basic urgent care and chronic health care services to uninsured community members.

The Basic Urgent Care Clinic is open to patients Monday and Thursday evenings beginning at 5 p.m.

Those interested in supporting the clinic can phone 360-582-0218.
