As we get older our muscle strength and balance reduces, and this increases our risk of having a life-changing fall.

Keeping active and doing simple strength and balance exercises can help to reduce this risk, and you are never too old to start.

Falls don’t have to be an inevitable part of ageing, and by taking the correct steps to maintain strength can really help us to stay steady on our feet and keep our independence.

The refresh team are here to support you to improve your strength and balance which help to make daily activities easier to manage, keeping you independent for longer. We can offer individual support and advice on how to stay active as we get older, along with home exercise packs, online resource and signposting to other services.
