Our highly regarded 

Wellbalanced programme was featured in The Raising The Bar On Strength & Balance Report produced by The Centre for Better Ageing. 

HOW IT WORKS

Feeling less steady on your feet? 

We can help! Our community based falls prevention programme Wellbalanced, is for older adults at risk of falling. It provides a ‘step down’ service for those exiting the NHS Falls Prevention Service, or a ‘step up’ for people unsteady on their feet wishing to prevent a fall. Simply ask your GP, other health professional or social prescriber for a referral to Wellbalanced programme. 

Meet Our Wellbalanced Co-ordinator

Once we receive your referral, our Wellbalanced Co-ordinator will get in touch to explain the programme and ask you a few questions to understand your needs. You can ask questions to ensure the programme will suit you.      

Attend a Wellbalanced Class  

The Wellbalanced co-ordinator will arrange for you to attend your first session at a local community hall.  We will assess your strength and balance, that way we can measure your progress through the programme. If we feel the classes will benefit you, you will be able to attend the funded weekly class for 24 weeks.  The classes are led by a qualified Postural Stability Instructor and a Support Instructor. Participants benefit from the programme in a number of ways including: an increase muscle strength, improving balance, reducing the risk of falling, an increase in flexibility, a boost to their mental wellbeing, and also an opportunity to socialise and make new friends. 

See Results! 

You will benefit most if you incorporate the exercises into your day to day routine, so we will provide you with exercises you can do at home, as well as in the class. We will assess your strength and balance again at 12 weeks and 24 weeks, that way we can see how you are progressing.
