Gentle Balance and Strength Class in Oamaru

This class offers a gentle, physiotherapy-based programme to improve strength and balance. It includes seated, standing, and walking exercises led by trained Peer Leaders. Geared towards older adults with limited mobility, it suits those recovering from illness, surgery, or injury, or anyone wanting better stability.

Participants gain improved stability to cut fall risks, greater independence for daily tasks, and enhanced strength in key muscle groups. The sessions also build better posture, social connections in a supportive group, and mental wellbeing through boosted mood. Held at The Salvation Army Oamaru, the friendly atmosphere encourages steady progress in a community setting.
