Balance & Falls Prevention Class FAQs
Who is the Balance & Falls Prevention Class for?
Our Balance & Falls Prevention Class is ideal for older adults and anyone who feels unsteady, has had a fall, or wants to improve balance and leg strength. It also suits people returning to activity after illness or injury who prefer supervised, physiotherapist-led exercise.
Do I need a physiotherapy assessment before joining the class?
Yes. An initial clinical balance assessment is important for safety. Your physiotherapist will assess your balance, mobility and medical history, then recommend the right starting level and exercises before you join the group.
What happens in a typical balance and falls prevention class?
Each class includes a warm-up, a circuit of balance and strength exercises, and a cool-down. Exercises may include step work, stance challenges, weight shifts, walking drills and functional leg strengthening. All exercises are supervised and adjusted to your ability.
How long is each class and how often should I attend?
Classes are 40 minutes long and run weekly. Most people benefit from attending once or twice per week over several months to build strength, confidence and long-term balance improvements.
What should I wear and bring to the class?
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in and supportive closed-in shoes. Bring a water bottle and any walking aids you usually use. If you wear glasses or hearing aids, please bring them so you feel safe and confident.
Can I claim the class on private health insurance?
You may be able to claim on private health insurance depending on your fund and level of extras cover. Our reception team can provide item numbers and help you check your eligibility.
Is this class suitable if I have osteoporosis or arthritis?
In many cases, yes. The class uses low-impact, functional exercises that can be modified for conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Your initial assessment allows the physiotherapist to adjust your program and ensure the exercises are appropriate for your joints and bones.
I’ve already had a fall – is it too late to start?
It’s not too late. Exercise programs that target balance and leg strength can reduce fall risk and help you feel safer with daily tasks. If you’ve fallen before, it is even more important to work with a physiotherapist to regain confidence and prevent future falls.
