The first Strength and Balance Instructor Training Course was delivered on Thursday 2 July to a full house of health professionals who have signed up to deliver the Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) Program to older adults. The LiFE program is unique in that it aims to embed balance and strength activities within everyday tasks that older adults can complete throughout their day to reduce their risk of falls.

Falls Specialist Program Physiotherapist, Tony Petta, delivered the course with the support of Community West, ICCWA and the Department of health. The training equipped attendees with the knowledge and practical skills required to deliver the LiFE program to older adults safely and effectively.
