health through a combination of low-impact aerobic exercises, strength training, stretching, and
balance activities.
The exercise programme is low to moderate intensity and can be done seated or standing
dependent upon the Berg Balance Test results. There is no floor work, no high intensity or heavy
weights involved, no jumping or high impact, no unsupported forward flexion or uncontrolled
