NEW! BALANCE/FALLS PREVENTION CLASS!

NEW TO CHEVRON ISLAND PHYSIO –
BALANCE/FALLS PREVENTION EXERCISE CLASS!
As we age, we often develop a feeling of general stiffness in the body, a loss of balance and a fear and then a real risk of falls. 40% of adults over the age of 65 years fall each year. Falls can result in:
• Decreased confidence to participate in everyday activities
• Restricted lifestyle, reduced social and recreational activities
• Decreased physical capabilities and loss of muscle strength and endurance, making everyday activities harder
• Loss of independence
• Injury and illness
• More falls
At Chevron Island Physio we are committed to helping people maintain active, healthy and independent lifestyles. Our Balance and Falls Prevention Classes are run by experienced Physiotherapists with the aim of strengthening and stabilizing in a 50 minute exercise based class. The sessions also focus on education, including home programs for each participant. Each person’s program is developed specifically for them based on their needs and preferences, ensuring all ages and levels are catered for. We also include a little bit of fun and socializing!
