These sessions are designed to help residents stay strong and are aimed at anyone who would like to feel steadier on their feet, retain their mobility and/or reduce their risk of falling.

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.
