Falls Prevention is Healthbox CIC’s 12-week Strength & Balance programme designed to reduce the risk of falls in older adults. The programme combines strength and balance exercises with educational talks to support independent living. Sessions are held weekly, 60 minutes each, locally around Cheshire as part of a 12-week course. Participants can access resources such as a Falls Prevention Handbook and Strength & Balance Exercise sheets to practise at home. The aims include improving muscle strength, balance, posture and confidence, reducing fear of falling and the likelihood of hospital admissions due to falls. The page notes that Healthbox classes are currently on hold due to funding. For access and enrolment, contact Healthbox CIC using the details below. Cost: information not stated on the website.
