my strength and balance! Workshop

Scheduled at three different locations (Coolum Beach, Landsborough and Caloundra) across the Sunshine Coast in October 2026 for Seniors Month, my strength and balance! is a falls prevention community workshop with the long-term objective to support independence in over 65’s.

An over-65 accredited Exercise Physiologist, Dr Elizabeth Pressick, will introduce participants to the importance of leg strength and balance, in the context of healthy ageing, and the highly evidenced and successful Otago Exercise Program.

Participants will learn how to perform simple leg strengthening and balance exercises safely, plan and design their own individualised home exercise program and learn when and how to manage progressions.

Participants take home a Workshop Handout, Practical Booklet (with all the exercises) and Thera band (stretch exercise band) FREE.
