Calendar of Events

October is National Physical Therapy Month so we’ve invited local PT experts to join us during October 20-24 to address some orthopedic concerns. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just looking to improve mobility, our team has got you covered. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn and improve your health and wellbeing!

Learn from local physical therapists at our free presentations and assessments scheduled throughout the week at Larkspur Community Center and Juniper Swim & Fitness. Sessions are Drop-in unless noted as “pre-registration” required.

Learn more and view the complete schedule on the workshop webpage at bendparksandrec.org/fitness-swim/events-workshops/.

Feed your body & mind as local experts share their knowledge about topics important to you. Bring your own brown bag lunch; dessert and coffee are on us. This is a free event. Presented in partnership with PacificSource Health Plans.

Oct. 21: Building Bone Health with Yoga
Erin Collins MNE RN CHPN, yoga instructor

Did you know that half of women over 50 face complications from osteoporosis? And that the bone disease is becoming increasingly prevalent among older men too? The good news is that yoga can help! Yoga strengthens muscles, improves balance and flexibility, and supports focus. Join us to explore the science of osteoporosis and how yoga can help prevent falls and fractures.

Learn about Lunch & Learns and other activities on the Bend Senior Center’s activities webpage.
