Steady As You Go exercises are designed to help older people in their ordinary everyday lives. Groups practice balance, coordination-building and muscle-strengthening exercises such as standing on tip toes or moving from a sitting to standing position.
There are eye exercises to assist balance and strengthen the muscles used for peripheral vision, which are needed for driving. Participants are also taught practical steps to avoid injury @ like squatting down to the pot cupboard and being careful not to step on the bedspread when making the bed.Wednesdays at 1.30pm.
