Nymbl App
Nymbl is a scientifically validated, evidence-based digital wellness programme that helps older adults improve balance, reduce fall-risk and gain confidence.
The programme is personalised, engaging and available for free on mobile devices and tablets.
Nymbl combines cognitive challenges (in the form of fun games) with simple exercise (clinically-backed movements) to train the balance reflex, helping older adults improve their balance and confidence.
It is a safe and effective way for older adults to improve their balance from the comfort of their own home and can be a great compliment to community strength and balance classes.
With just 10 minutes a day you can stay active and improve your balance.
The app can be downloaded from the Apple App store or the Android Google Play Store. Search for “Nymbl Training”
There are different levels and starting points, which will be determined by how you answer the set up questions.
If you are at a higher risk of falls, Nymbl will begin you in a seated position and you’ll gradually increase through the levels as you improve your balance.
71% of users who have used the app for 21 days improved their 30 second sit to stand test.
