3 Walking Exercises

Find an area in your home where you can hold a surface as needed. For example following your kitchen counter top, using the walls in a narrow hallway or walking around your dinning table. Use the support of the surfaces if you need to and progress to not holding as able.
Developed by the Adult Community Rehabilitation Team you can use these exercises to improve your strength, balance, stability, and mobility as prescribed by your Physiotherapist. Exercises presented have been recorded during the Strong & Steady Group run by our team and are based on the Otago Exercise Programme developed by the New Zealand Falls Prevention Research Group.
The Strong and Steady group is a programme of exercise and education run over 8 weeks, 2 sessions per week. The group is designed to improve balance, confidence, fitness, strength and increase understanding of staying safe and steady at home and the community. The programme is delivered by Physiotherapists, Rehabilitation Assistants and Occupational Therapists who help to tailor the exercises to all levels of ability. The group is jointly run with therapists based at the Homerton Hospital in London.
