SUMMARY:Falls Prevention Exercise (Level 2) - Tuesdays 11:45am Shenton Park
DESCRIPTION:Term 3: Mon 20th July – Sun 27th September 2026 (10 weeks)\nClass Details:\nFalls Prevention Level 2 is a circuit-style exercise class that builds on the strength\, balance\, and technique developed in Level 1.  \nThis program is designed for participants who have successfully completed Falls Prevention Class (Level 1) and have been recommended by the instructor to progress to the next stage.  \nResearch highlights that progressive exercise (i.e. gradually increasing complexity\, strength\, and balance challenges) is highly effective in further reducing fall risk and enhancing functional independence. By incorporating more advanced movements\, Level 2 helps participants continue to build muscle strength\, improve balance\, and increase confidence in performing everyday activities. Education topics discussed each week reinforce safe practices and provide practical strategies for reducing fall risk.  \nThe class format includes a variety of circuit-based exercises\, some performed in a kneeling position or on the floor\, with modifications available for those unable to do so. Movements are progressive\, safe\, and adaptable\, ensuring each participant can work at a level that suits their ability while still being challenged. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing\, bring a water bottle\, and continue building on the foundations developed in Level 1 within a fun and supportive group environment.  \nVenue: Seminar Room\, Wyllie Arthritis Centre\,\n17 Lemnos Street\, Shenton Park.\nCost: Please see ticket details below to view term class fees.\nClass Times: You may only attend the day and time allocated for this class (once per week) \nRegistration Details:\n– All registrations for this term period open at 12 noon on Wednesday 24th June 2026.\n– Online registrations will close at 4pm\, one business day before the term start date for each class (i.e. online bookings for Tuesday classes close 4pm on Monday 20th July).\n– If you are interested in joining after online registration closes\, please get in touch with our staff at 9388 2199 to assist with your request\, \nTo successfully complete registration\, you must either:\n– Answer ‘No’ to all six questions (numbered 1 – 6) OR\n– Gain clearance from your GP/medical specialist PRIOR to participation in the exercise if you have answered ‘Yes’ to one or more of the questions numbered 1 – 6\n– Agree to the *Terms & Conditions outlined below. \nClick here to read our Term-Based Exercise Terms & Conditions.

SUMMARY:Teens Healthy Bones and Joints Program (Secondary School) - Thursdays 4:00pm\, Shenton Park
DESCRIPTION:Term 3: Mon 20th July – Sun 27th September 2026 (10 weeks)\nNote: Teens Healthy Bones & Joints classes on Thursdays run from 30 Jul – 17 Sept. Registration fee is for 8 weeks.\nClass Details:\nThe Healthy Bones and Joints Program is a specialised group exercise program designed for secondary school students living with conditions such as Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)\, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)\, and Connective Tissue Disorders. Developed in partnership with the endocrinology team at Perth Children’s Hospital and physiotherapists at Western Kids Health\, the program is supervised by a senior physiotherapist with specialist training in these conditions to ensure exercises are safe\, effective\, and tailored to individual needs.  \nResearch shows that staying active during puberty plays a vital role in building bone density and reducing the risk of fractures and injuries later in life.

This program addresses these challenges by providing expert guidance in a relaxed and supportive environment.  \nEach session includes a mix of flexibility\, strengthening\, aerobic conditioning\, and balance training\, all delivered in a graded format appropriate for teens with chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Beyond the physical benefits\, the program also creates an important opportunity for young people to connect\, support one another\, and share experiences\, building both resilience and confidence. \nTo successfully complete registration\, your teen must fulfill the below criteria:\n–   Children aged 12 years or older (year 7 and up)\n–   OI\, JIA\, CWPS\, HSD\, hEDS/cEDS diagnosis\n–   Clearance to exercise as provided by GP or Specialist\n–   ESSA Medical History form to be completed (contained within this online registration) \nVenue: Western Kids Health\, Level 1\, Victoria House\, 4 Thorburn Way\, Shenton Park\nCost: Please see ticket details below to view term class fees.\nClass Times: You may only attend the day and time allocated for this class (once per week) as indicated on the online booking confirmation email. \nRegistration Details:\n– All registrations for this term period open at 12 noon on Wednesday 24th June 2026.\n– Online registrations for Thursday Teens Healthy Bones & Joints classes close at 10am on Thursday 30th July).\n– If you are interested in joining after online registration closes\, please get in touch with our staff at 9388 2199 to assist with your request. \nTo successfully complete registration\, you must either:\n– Answer ‘No’ to all questions (numbered 1 – 10) OR\n– Gain clearance from your child’s GP/medical specialist PRIOR to participation in the exercise if you have answered ‘Yes’ to one or more of the questions numbered 1 – 10\n– Agree to the *Terms & Conditions outlined below. \nClick here to read our Term-Based Exercise Terms & Conditions.
