Strength that keeps you on your feet
1 in 3 people over 65 fall each year, and the evidence on preventing it is unusually clear: strength and balance work, done twice a week, with kit that costs less than a takeaway. This page is everything UK falls programmes actually hand out, from a £1 loop to the rolls the clinics buy. The research behind it lives on our falls prevention evidence page.
Black · X-Heavy
One loop. One pound.
Our latex-free X-Heavy resistance loop in black, the same closed-loop format Worcestershire white-labelled for its 40,000-band rollout. No code needed, that is simply the price. It is a firm resistance, best for seated hip work, lateral walks and anyone already exercising. Starting from scratch? Begin with a light 1.5m or 2m band below and work up.
For you, or for your parents
Light grades first. UK programmes start people on yellow or red bands for sit-to-stands, heel raises and hip work, then progress one colour at a time. FALLS15 takes 15% off the cards marked with a badge, until Friday 25 September.
Resistance Band Trial Pack
Four resistance levels in one pack. The simplest way to find your starting grade and have the next one ready.
Resistance Bands 1.5m
Individually packed, five grades. The home-programme length for seated rows and heel raises.
Resistance Bands 2m
The band Worcestershire's programme hands to participants. Extra length for taller users and full-range pulls.
Resistance Loop, Heavy (Blue)
One step down from the £1 X-Heavy loop. Hip abduction, lateral walks and glute work.
Hand Therapy Putty, Pack of 5
Grip strength matters for rails, kettles and catching yourself. Five graded putties from extra soft to firm.
Why bands, in three numbers

FALLS15 gives 15% off the products marked "15% off with code" above (bands, rolls, putty and the dispenser), from 8 to 25 September 2026. It does not apply to the single resistance loops (the £1 X-Heavy loop is already at its lowest price) or the Resistance Band Trial Pack, and it cannot be combined with other codes or items already on sale. Prices include VAT unless marked ex VAT; ex VAT prices are shown for business buyers. Free UK delivery, no minimum spend. Evidence: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2019 (Sherrington et al.); NICE guideline NG249 (2025), which replaced CG161; University of Worcester evaluation of Worcestershire County Council's Living Well for Longer programme.
