Seated Exercise

Age UK Devon offers a comprehensive Seated Exercise training package which is ideal for individuals who wish to deliver safe, engaging chair-based exercise sessions to older people with reduced mobility.

Our training covers:

  • The benefits of physical activity for older people
  • Planning sessions and conducting risk assessments
  • Communicating with individuals with sensory, physical, or cognitive impairments
  • A wide range of practical exercises, including TheraBand, pelvic floor, and balance work

  • A practical assessment

Each participant receives a comprehensive training pack which is used throughout the training.

At the end of this course each participant will have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits of chair based exercises and will be confident to plan and deliver sessions to individuals, or groups of older people.
