More Stable More Able
Are you worried about having a fall? A course run by Nelson Bays Primary Health can help by giving you information and techniques to reduce risk. In a free two-hour session participants learn about the causes of falling, strength and balance exercises, ways to make your home safer, how to maintain bone strength and eating well to stay on your feet.
People who have attended the course have found it enormously helpful. One person stated: “I was so frightened after I fell and thought nothing could be done. How wrong I was! So glad I attended”.
The courses are run by Ange Baker, Community Fall Prevention Coordinator at Nelson Bays Primary Health. They are held on a weekday in either Richmond, Motueka or Nelson. On average there is one course a month and we have two coming up right here in at Age Concern Hall in March and April.
Wednesday 15 March at our Nelson Office, 18 Bridge Street, Nelson from 1-3.15pm
Tuesday 11 April at our Richmond Office, 62 Oxford Street, Richmond from 1-3.15pm
