Strength & Balance Exercise Session
Our Strength and Balance Exercise Instructors take you through a Strength & Balance Exercise session to improve your day to day activities.
Have you ever had a fall; were you injured? What would the impact be if the same were to happen now? Falls can have a serious effect on anyone! Our Falls Prevention team can help you
Do you feel safe and secure?
- Would a lifeline or community alarm system help?
- Where do you feel off balance - would a rail there help?
- Are your alarms/pull cords easy to reach when necessary?
As you get older
Many things that come naturally now can become more difficult, so be aware of:
- Dizziness or light-headedness as you get up out of a chair or bed
- Feeling more drowsy than usual
- Changes in the way you walk, it being harder than before, or being off balance
- Rushing, or needing to go, to the toilet more often
- Feeling confused
- Feeling nervous about the possibility of falling
