Strength & Balance Classes for Falls Prevention
Staying active and independent is important for us all. If you can manage to achieve this as you become older then falls will not need to be part of your life.
How you can take action to stay on your feet?
Balance can be improved by challenging the balance systems in your body through the regular practise of balance strategies along with improving strength and flexibility.
