What is a Seniors Strength and Balance Class?
Here’s 5 things you’ll love about our Seniors strength class Keperra:
- Due to the gentle nature of these classes, they are primarily aimed at people 55 and above (although not limited to this age group only). We have some younger patients with balance issues caused by neurological conditions or acute injuries who also find that this class is perfect for their needs. We’re very welcoming of all ages and fitness levels!
- Participants can expect a class that is just challenging enough to result in a light sweat, but relaxed and comfortable enough that they’ll still be able to enjoy a conversation and a few laughs with the other participants.
- Before joining one of our classes, all participants undertake a strength and balance assessment including using the Sway Balance iPad app. This app records the amount of movement that occurs while standing in different positions to give each patient a ‘Balance Score’.
- It’s not meant to be scary or negative. This score is simply reassessed after every 6 weeks of participating in the Strength and Balance Classes to help monitor your improvement. You’ll be able to see the positive impact regular exercise is having on your health! Our classes are designed as a circuit type session with half the exercises concentrating on balance and the other half on upper limb, lower limb and core strength exercises.
- Each class is one hour long with a maximum of 5 participants per class and run under the watchful eye of one of our friendly, qualified physiotherapists.

Most attendees currently in our programs participate to decrease their risk of a fall, while also maintaining or improving their current level of activity/function. That’s why we call these our ‘Fine Wine’ classes – because they are designed to help people get better with age.A chair is provided for each participant during the class, so all exercises can be modified to be done either sitting or standing. This means that no baseline level of fitness is required.
