Fall prevention program

The Stand Up! program is a 12-week intensive fall prevention program for people 65 years of age and older. The program aims to improve balance, flexibility and physical strength, helps to keep bones healthy, and allows seniors to gain confidence in their movements. The program consists of group sessions led by a kinesiologist twice a week.

Overview of certain criteria for admission to the Stand Up! program:

• being mobile without the help of a walker, or a three or four wheeled scooter
• ability to walk for a distance of around 200 meters without shortness of breath
