Falls prevention
Approximately a third of all people aged 65+ will fall each year. Unfortunately, these rates increase with age and once someone falls, their chance of falling again increases.
Steady and Stable is an evidence-based programme that helps to improve balance, strength and confidence. This programme is for anyone who feels wobbly on their feet, anxious about walking or at risk of a fall. Taking part will be fun and help you feel stronger, steadier and fitter, so you can continue doing the things you love!
Participants are required to: (1) be medically fit, (2) follow instructions safely in a group-based exercise setting, (3) complete an hours long class (40 minutes will be completed in standing) and (4) independently mobilise short distances with or without walking aids.
The classes are offered in Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Brent. We accept referrals from healthcare professionals as well as self-referrals.
