Steady As You Go Fall Prevention Class - Equippers Church

Steady As You Go Fall Prevention Class at Equippers Church

A typical session in the Steady As You Go fall prevention class involves gentle exercises to build muscle strength and improve balance. You start with simple movements that target lower body strength for tasks like getting out of chairs or climbing stairs. The class then moves on to activities that enhance coordination and stability to help reduce trips and falls. Held at Equippers Church in Frimley, Hastings, this weekly programme runs in a supportive setting.

It suits over 65s with limited mobility, such as those using walking aids or with low strength, as well as those with reasonable mobility who walk unaided and have average balance. Participants gain better physical confidence and a lower risk of falls through regular practice. The friendly atmosphere helps build connections with others in the community. Many find it boosts their independence for daily activities.
