Robert Green (Osteopath) and Lucy Hughes (Let’s Do Pilates) have been working on a free ‘Fall prevention workshop’.

This will be held on 18th of March in Overton, St Mary's Hall, High St, Overton, Basingstoke RG25 3HA
13:00 a 14:30
The building has easy access.

They will be providing short presentations on the importance of falls prevention at all ages. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and meet other members of the community. Registration to attend is not required, so please come along.

This will include learning techniques to enhance balance and prevent falls, which are vital for maintaining fitness and independence. This program has been developed based on evidence and clinical experience, which have been shown to reduce falls by up to 88%. The exercises are adapted for different fitness levels and health conditions, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their current ability, feels included and safe.

Additionally, strength-based exercises have been proven safe and effective for increasing bone density in areas vulnerable to fractures.

They will also cover what to do if you do fall and how to rebuild your confidence and independence.

Tea and coffee will be provided, along with a free therapy pack. Each pack includes an exercise resistance band, hand putty, a booklet of fall-prevention exercises, and a guide to improving balance and strength.

Join them for this upcoming Fall Safety Workshop to stay active and safe!

They look forward to seeing you there. All ages welcome; please share if you feel this may benefit others in your community.

World COPD Day - 19 November 2025

To mark World COPD Day this year (19 November 2025), the Pulmonary Rehabilitation services across Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare along with colleagues from University Hospital Southampton and Portsmouth Hospitals University are promoting the importance of getting a diagnosis and seeking help if you have persistent breathlessness and a cough.

This year, teams will be providing patient-facing information events as well as offering an opportunity for advice and information to NHS staff.

They will be providing health promotion with information available on COPD and COPD management, checking inhaler technique, signposting to stopping smoking and how to get more active, including accessing Pulmonary Rehabilitation across the region.
