Postural Stability Instruction (PSI) is the only evidence-based exercise that provides proven outcomes for frequent or recurrent fallers.
2026 Update
Please be advised PSI will be closing in May 2026.
This service has been funded by Birmingham and Solihull ICB for 10+ years, however due to the current funding constraints and shift in priorities from treatment to prevention, aiming to prevent falls earlier, they are unable to continue doing so, and this service is being decommissioned.
This service has provided falls prevention support to over 1,500 older people during this period and has been very much valued by older residents of Solihull.
We want to warmly thank the instructors, all the volunteers and our supporters who have helped to make this service so successful, and also so much fun!
Age UK Solihull will be looking for funding for similar services in the future to enable healthy aging, including preventing falls.
Current classes for existing service users will continue as normal, and the last classes are due to finish in May.
No new referrals can be accepted.
