Steady And Strong Exercise Classes

Steady and Strong
Community Balance Classes

Having a fall can have a serious impact on anyone’s life - but for older people the consequences are even greater, including a loss of independence, mobility and confidence as well as the time it takes to recover. By preventing falls, older people’s chances of staying independent at home are significantly increased and they can continue to live an active lifestyle. Exercise is one of the most important factors in preventing a fall.

　Steady and Strong exercise classes are all taught by qualified postural stability instructors, who have been specifically trained to reduce falls in older people. The classes also link in with the NHS led fall prevention classes and provide a follow on for people completing their rehabilitation.

Classes are suitable for older people who are unsteady and will help them to carry on their normal daily routines and improve their balance.
