"A pleasure to recommend these classes"

After yet another fall my GP referred me to the Falls Clinic. Karen, a physio,  came to see me, gave me some exercises to do for assessment and, having arranged for a rail to be fitted outside my front door, asked me if I would like to attend a Balance Exercise Class in West Wickham for 12 weeks. I found the classes very informative and helpful. Karen and Carol, the physios, worked so well together as a team and made the class, although we worked, fun! No one has to do more than they feel capable of so there was no pressure put on us. 

At the end of the session we were given advice while we sipped our tea or coffee which had been provided.

We were given exercises to do at home with the suggestion of two days per week which is manageable. A Theraband was provided with a booklet so we could do the exercises safely at home. 

I felt I was improving each week and was becoming more confident so when I left, instead of feeling extremely worried about falling, I felt confident I wouldn't.

I have to say it would be a pleasure to recommend these classes to anyone having balance problems.
