Falls Prevention/Balance Class

In 2017, South Australians were 12x more likely to be admitted to hospital for a fall, compared to an injury sustained in a car accident. As we age we often suffer from a decrease in balance, muscle strength and overall flexibility, which alters the way we move and may increase our risk of sustaining an injury from falling. The risk increases further with changes to reaction time, concentration and other health concerns such as stroke, incontinence and osteoporosis. The good news is Exercise Can Help!

With attending the falls & balance group you may experience:

• Increased balance, muscle strength & joint mobility
• Increased bone health
• Increased energy levels
• Increased confidence
• Increased knowledge around safety of exercise and preventing falls
• Improvements in memory and cognition
• Social engagement
• Dual task and reaction time exercises
• Increased/maintaining independence

Classes are held on Mondays 10.30am-11.15am, Thursdays 11.45am-12.45pm
