We work in partnership with physiotherapists, care homes and day centres. As well as our weekly health walks we also run strength and balance sessions in Arrochar, Buchlyvie, Drymen and Aberfoyle as well as our regular weekly sessions in Killin, Callander and Crianlarich!
We encourage participants to enjoy a 10 minute walk on their own after each session in order to build up to joining the regular 30 – 45 minute walk, and of course our regular walkers can also join in and keep their muscles strong and flexible!
Strength and balance exercises are perfect for anyone worried about slipping or falling. The simple exercises include leg raises and ankle movements – and all our sessions are run by trained volunteers. If you have a health condition, please check with your GP first.
We love to hear from our members what a difference these sessions make!
