Community Strength and Balance
- Community Strength and Balance Programmes
We are part of a nation-wide movement to reduce falls and fractures and support older people to live stronger for longer. Older people pride themselves on being self-sufficient and maintaining their independence. We’re joining forces with our DHB, exercise providers, carers and health professionals throughout our region to support older people to live the lives they want to live, for as long as they can. This means we are working with exercise providers in the community to help create a pathway for referrals from GPs to programmes for older people in the region who would benefit from improved strength and balance to enable them to then access public classes.
