Fall prevention classes for seniors in Burswood | Canning Vale| Murdoch
Falls prevention classes can offer a supportive environment for older adults who want to work on balance, strength and confidence in daily movement. These classes are supervised by qualified clinicians and focus on safe, structured exercise.
Possible benefits may include:
Balance training: Exercises that aim to improve stability and help you feel more steady during everyday activities.
Strength development: Working on key muscle groups that support posture, movement control and overall function.
Confidence in movement: As you practice supervised exercises, you may feel more comfortable and secure performing daily tasks.
Mobility and flexibility work: Gentle exercises that may help maintain joint movement and reduce stiffness.
Falls prevention classes may be a suitable option if you’re looking for guidance in improving balance, mobility and functional movement in a safe, structured setting. If you’re unsure whether these classes are right for you, a clinician can help assess your individual needs.
WA Health Group recognises the importance of maintaining balance, confidence and independence as you age. Our Falls Prevention Classes provide a safe, supervised environment where seniors can work on balance, stability and functional movement under the guidance of qualified clinicians.
