Falls can significantly affect confidence, mobility and independence. If you have had a fall, feel unsteady when walking, have become less mobile or are worried about your risk of falling, a physiotherapy assessment is a positive first step.
What we look at
An assessment may consider your balance, walking pattern, lower-limb strength, mobility, transfers, coordination, joint movement, confidence when walking, use of walking aids and any other factors that may increase falls risk.
Building a personal programme
- Balance exercises and strengthening
- Gait re-education and mobility practice
- Transfer practice and functional exercise
- Walking-aid advice where appropriate
- Confidence-building strategies
The goal is simple: to help you maintain mobility, reduce falls risk and remain as safe and independent as possible. Read more about our Falls Prevention, Balance & Mobility service.
