FaME Online Strength & Balance Course

It is normal to feel cautious about balance, especially if you have had a wobble, a fall, or a loss of confidence.

​

This 12-week online course is based on Falls Management Exercise - FaME - principles and is designed to help adults 55+ build strength, balance, stamina, mobility, posture, control and confidence in a calm, structured and progressive way.

​

You will be offered seated, supported and freestanding options, so you can work at a level that feels suitable and safe for you.

​

The aim is not to push hard for the sake of it. The aim is to move well, understand your body’s feedback, build confidence, and practise the physical skills that support everyday movement and help reduce falls risk.

​

Each session includes warm-up, stamina, balance, strength, flexibility and relaxed movement, with clear guidance on effort levels, pacing and safe progression.

​

You will also have a weekly focus and simple homework to help you understand your progress, practise between sessions and build confidence in daily life.

​

Progress is tracked through simple outcome measures, self-monitoring, effort levels and everyday movement awareness. This is not about judgement. It is about knowing where you are starting from, noticing what is changing, and making sensible choices about how to progress.

​

By the end of the programme, the goal is for you to feel stronger, steadier and more confident in your movement - so you can keep doing what matters to you.

Strong. Steady. Involved.
