Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme

The Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme is aimed at improving strength and balance to reduce the risk of falls through evidence-based exercises. The class is delivered by a specialist qualified Postural Stability Instructor (PSI) who will go through a health and medical questionnaire pre-assessment, help you set your goals then tailor and adapt the exercises to suit you to ensure a safe, effective, programme is delivered. 

Booking is essential for your first visit. Please contact the exercise instructor Bronia Warden Tel. 07895 380615 email: [email protected] who will arrange a time for you to attend for an assessment prior to joining the sessions.

We hold two sessions every Wednesday:

Session 1 - 1pm - 2pm

From 2pm - 2:30pm refreshments are available.The social element is an important part of the group, it is a great time to share, discuss and support each other.

Session 2 - 2:30pm - 3:30pm.

The sessions are for mixed ability. You work at your own pace to suit you on the day, either seated or standing, with the option of working towards getting down and back up off the floor safely.

Clothing should be comfortable to move around in and a good fitting shoe/trainer. Water is available throughout.

Volunteers needed! - We need to recruit a volunteer to help with refreshments and the room setup. If you are interested in getting involved you can find out more here.
