08 January 2009Worried About Falling?
Falls Prevention is a safe and effective exercise class aiming to keep you moving and helping you to maintain independence. The class begins mainly in a chair and gradually progresses to standing activities. The aim is to improve your balance, strength and stability. Everyone's ability varies and everyone works at their own pace. It is great fun and a fantastic way to meet and chat to new friends, with a drink at the end of the session!
Falls Prevention is for anyone who has a fear of falling, loses their balance, feels unstable, has a history of falls or low bone density.
The class is every Thursday from 12.30-1.30pm at the Edenbridge Centre, Four Elms, Edenbridge, TN8 6NR. It is FREE and refreshments are provided. If it is difficult for you to travel to the class and you live in or close to the Edenbridge area, then please let us know as we may be able to help arrange transport for you (there may be a small charge).
