Active Steps Programme
Active Steps is a specialised exercise programme for people who have previously experienced a fall, are frightened or at risk of falling.
The programme will help you in being active and improve your confidence and independence. It aims to reduce your risk of falling, by using exercises that work your balance, strength, stamina, posture, mobility and co-ordination.
Contact Falls Prevention Physical Activity Team on 01922 658080 for more information
