Steady As You Go Fall Prevention Classes in Waipawa

Want to stay steady on your feet and enjoy more confidence in your daily moves? These fall prevention classes are just right for those in their senior years living in Waipawa. Held at St Peter's Hall, the sessions focus on building muscle strength and improving balance to help prevent falls. They suit people with limited mobility, like those using a walking aid or feeling unsure about their balance, as well as folks with reasonable mobility who walk unaided and have average strength.

The 60-minute classes start with seated warm-ups, move to standing exercises with chair support if needed, and end with gentle cool-downs. Based on the Otago Exercise Programme developed in New Zealand, the programme begins with accessible movements and lets you progress at your own pace. Regular attendance can cut fall risk by up to 30 percent, while also boosting your confidence and offering a chance to connect with others in the community.
