Gentle Balance and Strength Class in South Dunedin

The Gentle Balance and Strength Class, known as Steady As You Go, offers physiotherapy-based exercises in a supportive weekly session at South Dunedin Baptist Church. This one-hour class focuses on seated, standing, and walking activities led by trained Peer Leaders from Age Concern. It's geared towards older adults or those with limited mobility who want to build better balance and stability. The friendly setting suits people who use walking aids or feel unsure about physical activities.

Participants can expect exercises that strengthen muscles, improve balance, and enhance flexibility, mobility, and posture. The programme also includes cognitive exercises, eye coordination, and proper breathing techniques. Regular attendance helps reduce falls risk, boost confidence, and foster social connections. It's great for anyone maintaining independence as they age, and you can go at your own pace with breaks as needed.
