As part of the normal ageing process, we begin to lose muscle strength and flexibility, which can lead to a loss of mobility, confidence and often an increased risk of falls. These same symptoms can also occur as a result of long-term and neurological conditions including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.physiotherapymatters.co.uk\/older-people-physiotherapy\/conditions\/parkinsons-disease\/\">Parkinson\u2019s Disease<\/a>\u00a0and Multiple Sclerosis, amongst many others.<\/p>\n<p>Our physiotherapy-led exercise classes are suitable for older adults who are looking to improve their mobility and balance, as well as those who struggle with mobility issues related to long-term conditions. Our classes help to improve overall health levels including mobility and can potentially provide other benefits such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved confidence and mental Health<\/li>\n<li>Better balance and strength<\/li>\n<li>Boosted energy levels<\/li>\n<li>Social engagement<\/li>\n<li>Improved cognitive function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our older people exercise classes involve a combination of low-impact cardiovascular, resistance, balance, and functional exercises. All exercises are modifiable so are appropriate for all levels and you will be supervised by a Chartered Physiotherapist throughout the class.<\/p>\n<p>The motivational classes have been known to boost morale, movement and enjoyment through a fun interactive approach which uses music, objects, and games to fully engage clients and keep them coming back. Physiotherapy-led exercise classes and programmes have also been shown to be effective in reducing falls by 29%!<\/p>\n<p>Physiotherapy Matters can deliver exercise classes in our spacious studio or
