Gradual Movability falls prevention class

Gradual Movability is a chair-supported falls prevention exercise programme. Using physiotherapy-based protocols, participants engage in a structured set of everyday functional movements, such as picking something up or getting up from the floor. Over time these sessions increase strength, balance and coordination.

As we age, we lose muscle mass more quicky, but regular exercises can reduce deterioration in strength, endurance and spatial awareness. Participants feel less anxious about falling over as their balance and agility improves.

The classes teach life-saving skills, reduce the risk of hospitalisation from falls and encourage clients to move regularly using weekly homework to increase quality of life and independence.
