Wise Moves Classes (Postural Stability)

Wise Moves is a fun and social class that will help prevent/reduce falls and increase strength and balance. We will incorporate Strength, Balance, Flexibility, Cardio, Tai Chi and Backward Chaining. This is to give you the tools to comfortably complete everyday activities, for example getting down and up from the floor, having the stability to comfortably stand on a bus, reaching for something in a high cupboard or opening that heavy door and improve confidence day to day.

Key areas we focus on are:

• Asymmetry
• Power in lower limbs
• Strength of Ankles
• Floor Work
• Cardiovascular fitness, strength, balance and flexibility

The Wise Moves classes are a falls prevention scheme which can last for a duration of up to 9 months. The duration of stay on these classes is on a case by case basis which is monitored through ongoing discussions and assessments between the instructor and participant. When both parties are confident that balance has improved, fear of falling has reduced and participant feels able to exercise independently the participant will have completed Wise Moves and be offered a discounted membership at L Leisure to continue this journey with the same instructor.

If you are eligible for Wise Moves you will be offered a place on 1 class per week. There are 3 classes available weekly in the community.

• Tuesday 12:30-1:30pm Hope, Beeston
• Wednesday 10-11am St Helen’s Church, Stapleford
• Thursday 11am-12pm Plumptre Hall, Eastwood

All classes will offer a 30-minute complimentary tea/coffee session afterwards.

The membership for these classes is £15 per month including free general swimming and aqua care classes at Bramcote Leisure Centre and Kimberley Gym & Swim.
