Program details

As we age, many people tend to find themselves worrying about their balance and taking extra care not to fall over.

Our Falls Prevention Clinic is designed to help elderly individuals maintain their independence and regain their confidence to live their best life.

This 45 minute class focuses on improving balance and confidence with everyday tasks, whether that be at home or in the community, as well as reducing your risk of falls and fractures. During this class you will complete a number of exercises that are designed to improve your strength and balance, therefore mitigating the risk of falls. These exercises may include:

Strength Exercises e.g. body weight, free weights, machines
Balance Exercises e.g. sit to stand, step ups, tandem/single leg balance
Coordination Exercises e.g. gait training, stepping
Flexibility Exercises e.g. upper and lower body stretching
Education and Awareness e.g. how to safely get up after a fall
