This scheme was developed in light of research that has shown that exercise is very beneficial in preventing falls and promoting independence. It is for individuals who have had falls or who are worried about falling and/or feel unsteady on their feet.

It is a 12 session course of exercises for individuals who have had falls or who are worried about falling and/or feel unsteady on their feet. The aim is to increase the skill and confidence levels of individuals such that they are able to remain living in the community and even attend appropriate ongoing exercise independently.

Aquaterra Leisure run two sessions in partnership with Islington REACH Team. The sessions are based in community centres and transport is available if needed.
