A wonderful new study suggests that falls in older people can be prevented by a simple series of exercises. Exercises that work on balance, strength and gait could be helpful. The researchers highlight TaiChi as being a good example of this sort of exercise.

If you are concerned about falling yourself or concerned about a relative we would recommend a balance, flexibility and strength check up at Sundial prior to a new exercise regime. We can advise on what would be the most suitable exercise for you.
