  • Provision of Resistance Band for use during exercise.
  • Provision of an exercise booklet and record sheets for you to monitor completion of exercises and frequency of falls.
  • Mobility and Gait re education.

The cost of the course includes:-

  • Two sessions per week for the first two weeks
  • Four sessions at weekly intervals
  • Four bimonthly sessions
  • Two sessions at monthly intervals
  • One follow-up session at nine months

 

We are able to source and provide any manual handling or mobility equipment  recommended by our physiotherapists.
