Why is Strength & Balance Training Important for Over 50s?
As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass, bone density, and balance, increasing the risk of falls, injuries, and mobility issues. Strength and balance training is essential for maintaining independence, preventing falls, and improving overall quality of life.
At Altona Meadows Osteopathy your classes are run by Practitioners that are able to adjust your exercises depending on your needs or injuries.
Benefits of Strength & Balance Classes for Over 50s:
✔ Reduces Fall Risk – Strengthens stabilizing muscles and improves coordination to prevent falls.
✔ Enhances Bone Health – Weight-bearing exercises help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
✔ Supports Joint Health – Improves mobility and reduces stiffness, making daily movements easier.
✔ Boosts Muscle Strength – Helps maintain muscle mass, which naturally declines with age.
✔ Improves Posture & Stability – Reduces the risk of back pain and improves functional movement.
✔ Increases Confidence & Independence – Enhances the ability to perform daily activities without fear of injury.
Incorporating Strength & Balance Classes into a weekly routine ensures long-term mobility, stability, and overall well-being, allowing individuals to stay active, confident, and independent as they age.
