Fall prevention course aimed at people aged 65 and over

A new course has started on Texel for people aged 65 and over to prevent falls. The course is an initiative of local organisations and focuses on improving balance and strength in the elderly.

The lessons consist of targeted exercises and practical tips to reduce fall incidents. Attention is also paid to the living environment, such as removing obstacles in the home.

According to De Texelse Courant, the course is a response to the increasing number of fall incidents among the elderly. The organisers hope that more people will sign up to age as safely as possible.

Interested parties can register via the organisation's website. The course is offered at different times and is free for residents of Texel.
