Strength & Balance Class for Cancer Patients with Step Forward With Lewis

Step Forward With Lewis CIC is a not for profit organisation, offering strength and balance classes to older and more vulnerable people in the Northamptonshire area, and beyond.

Our founder, Michelle Lewis, is fully trained in providing strength and balance sessions, and has seen incredible results with clients in recent years. Our programme provides strength and balance sessions for older and frailer adults, as well as those with pre-existing conditions or who may be vulnerable to falls.

Michelle is a qualified OTAGO instructor. As such, she can teach later life training to allow older people to avoid falls, maintain good health and remain independent.

Clinical trials have shown that with the Otago programme, the number of falls in older people is reduced, and injuries from those falls is also reduced. The programme has the greatest effect in high-risk groups: those aged over 80 years or who've had a previous fall.
