Thanks to the senior center or YMCA in council bluffs I made an amazing recovery from a fall that could have been a death event or very devastating to my body. I go there 5 days a week for mostly water therapy with our top-notch trainers. Instead of going downhill after the fall, I recovered very quickly. I contribute my health and wellbeing to our outstanding facility. Thanks!
