Tuesday

The Otago Strength and Balance programme is designed specifically to prevent falls.  The programme consists of:

• a set of muscle strengthening and balance retraining exercises
• exercises that are individually prescribed and increase in difficulty
• standing exercises, so it is important that the participant can sit to stand unaided and walk with or without a walking aid.

To find out more about your own risk of falling and what you can do to help prevent falls, visit our Falls prevention web page.
