Postural Stability

As a qualified Postural Stability Instructor (PSI), I teach structured exercise classes to improve fitness, posture, mobility, body strength and stability.

I currently teach classes in small group settings around the Derbyshire Dales and Buxton area. Sessions are mainly for those aged 50 plus who are at risk of having a fall, or have had a fall, due to their instability or reduced body strength. Classes also work well for those who are regaining strength after being signed off from post operative physiotherapy.

Exercise sessions can be performed seated or standing and focus on the following key exercises:

Strength: to help build muscle strength in the limbs and central core using body weight, leg weights and resistance bands.

Balance: initially performed stationary, progressing to moving as confidence and strength grows.

Cardiovascular: gradually increasing the heart rate and breathing to improve general fitness . 

Flexibility: a range of stretches to warm up the muscles prior to exercise but also to improve range of movement and flexibility.

Class prices start at £6.00 per session per person and are currently located in: 

Buxton: 12 noon on Wednesdays at Buxton Methodist Church  
Hulland Ward: 11 a.m. on Thursdays at Hulland Ward Millennium Hall
Winster: 1.15pm on Thursdays at The Burton Institute
