WHEN Beverley Teasdale suffered a bad fall into a glass cabinet, she knew she had to get help with her fitness.
The 70-year-old has a detached retina and a cyst on her skull which interferes with her balance.
The former full-time carer admitted: “I have been shocked about reaching this age and suddenly having various things wrong. I lost a lot of confidence when out and about walking.”
She now attends the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) classes which are led by specialist exercise professionals from Livewell Southwest. Livewell's Falls Prevention Team guide small groups in Plymouth through a 24-week programme looking at reducing the risk of falls.
