Falls & Balance Classes

In Camberwell and the eastern suburbs of Victoria, Falls & Balance Classes are tailored programs designed to improve strength, stability, and confidence, primarily for older adults or those at risk of falling. These classes focus on enhancing static and dynamic balance and building lower limb strength through evidence-based exercises guided by experienced physiotherapists. Participants typically undergo an initial assessment to personalize exercises based on their individual risk factors, balance abilities, and any underlying conditions.Programs often include a combination of balance retraining, strength exercises, and education on safe movement and fall prevention strategies. Some classes run weekly sessions that blend warm-ups, exercise circuits, and cool-downs, while others integrate multidisciplinary care including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and medical input if needed. For those unable to attend in clinic, some services offer home-based balance training delivered by qualified therapists.Additionally, community workshops and group sessions provide information on muscle engagement, core stability, and risk factors for falls, encouraging participants to stay active and maintain mobility safely. These classes and services aim to reduce falls and related injuries, enhance independence, and boost confidence in daily activities for residents of Camberwell and its surrounds.
