EMAA®

Easy Moves for Active Ageing (EMAA®)

EMAA® is a competency based course which equips participants with the skills to plan and lead safe, fun and evidence based group exercise classes for older adults. Easy Moves was developed by physiotherapists to develop understanding about basic anatomy, physiology, exercise prescription, falls prevention, and conditions related to ageing (including joint replacement, arthritis, & dementia).

Topics include the role of physical activity in healthy ageing, flexibility, strength and balance, catering for special needs, class design, effective leadership, communication and practical teaching skills. Participants undertake practical and theoretical assessment in a supportive learning environment.
