These gentle exercise classes are designed to improve balance, muscle strength and confidence and are based on the Otago Exercise Programme, developed in New Zealand to reduce the likelihood and severity of falls in older people. The sessions will be chair based at first and as confidence grows more standing will be introduced and encouraged using a chair as support. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and sociable.
