Otago Exercise Program

The Otago Exercise Program is a specialized physical activity plan designed primarily for older adults to improve strength and balance, reducing the risk of falls. Developed in New Zealand, it includes a series of tailored exercises that can be done at home. Participants typically work on leg strength, balance training, and functional movements. The program is often led by a trained instructor, but it can also be self-directed once individuals are comfortable. Regular participation can enhance mobility, confidence, and overall health, leading to a safer and more active lifestyle for seniors.
