Falls Prevention & Otago Exercise Programmes in Merseyside
Welcome to our directory of Otago Exercise Programme (OEP) and falls prevention providers available in Merseyside.
The Otago Exercise Programme is an evidence-based strength and balance programme originally developed for falls prevention in older adults. In many areas, Otago-based exercises are delivered through a combination of clinically led services and community-based programmes, depending on local pathways and individual needs.
It’s important to note that formal OEP delivery is often physiotherapy-led and may require referral via healthcare services. Alongside this, many community organisations, charities, and activity providers offer strength and balance programmes based on the same principles, which may be accessible via self-referral.
